Big trouble for Gina Cosma, a 53-year-old woman from Bârlade, who found herself with a foreclosure on her accounts due to fines imposed by the police for “abusive calling of the emergency number 112”. The woman claims she only called the emergency services because she felt in danger every time she did. Gina Cosma thus accumulated three fines for infringement, one of which after calling 112 and asking the police for help because a person tried to cheat her with the “Accident” method.
The 53-year-old Barladian woman says that in November 2020, while she was at a brother’s home in the municipality of Băcani, she received a call from a number asking her to prepare a large sum of money. In a panic, she immediately called the emergency number 112 and told the shippers what was happening to her. The operators of the SNUAU (Unique National System for Emergency Calls) advised Gina Cosma to wait for the arrival of the carabinieri and under no circumstances to give sums of money to anyone.
The “accidental” method with opposite effect: the applicant fined
The woman says the crew arrived a few hours later and gave the two officers the number from which she was called. They left and told the victim that she would be called and updated on the progress of the investigation. A few days later, in fact, Gina Cosma was called and informed that the caller who had tried to scam her had been identified and that a criminal case had been opened. Except at approx. a week ago the woman received in the mail a report of a fine that informed her that she had been fined 4,000 lei for an unfounded call to 112. Gina Cosma asked the police officer for an explanation and that he would have told her that “this is not it is an emergency situation, the “accident” method, for which you should call 112 “.
The Vaslui Court annulled the sanction for abusive summons
However, Gina Cosma appealed the offense report and after the Bârlad court rejected her appeal, the Vaslui court canceled her fine. However, the woman still has to face two crimes, also for having improperly called the emergency number 112, as the police say, this after Gina Cosma called 112 and reported that she was one step away from being hit by a car in a bend in the city of Ibănești. The victim claims that the crew arrived at the scene made the finding on the complained aspect and that they were directed to call Vaslui, Dumitru Buzatu (no – the head of the County Council) to request the installation of signs to signal the dangerous curve.
Another situation for which Gina Cosma was fined for abusive calling was when she called 112 and complained about the illegal cutting of some trees. The woman says that after the sanction she went to Ocolul silvic to check if the person reported to 112 had a cutting permit, which has not been confirmed.
Currently Gina Cosma has an income foreclosure due to the other penalties received for calling the emergency number 112 abusively. The woman says she behaves like an honest citizen who calls the authorities only when she notices an irregularity or when she feels threatened.
Fined just because the woman had called 112 twice?
It seems that in the last situation the police took into account the “story” of Gina Cosma when they fined her, just because she had already been sanctioned twice for the same crime. The judges of the Vaslui Tribunal did not take this story into account and repaired the injustice committed to the woman, only the fact that she denounced at the time remained in a promptly filed file, with the resolution to release verbal proof of violation of 4,000 lei, for a false call to 112.
Finding the agent’s report on the basis of questions only?
There remains the suspicion that hovers over this case, that is, whether the person who orchestrated the file was able in such a short time, about a week, to obtain the means of audio-textual evidence from the telephone operator, or if he only relied on written declarations of the two parties, namely the victim and the accused. The report drawn up by the investigator shows only that the accused had been consulted and that what has been said is not confirmed.
