Former Romanian President Traian Basescu arrives at the prosecutor's office in Bucharest, Romania, Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Prosecutors have informed Basescu he is under a criminal investigation for making threatening remarks to Senator Gabriela Vranceanu Firea, a political rival. The investigation did not start while Basescu was still in office because he had immunity from prosecution as president.
