Silviu Ionescu, a former charge d'affaires in Singapore, denies the charge and has been in detention since May, pending his trial. The diplomat is alleged to have hit three pedestrians in December while driving a car belonging to the Romanian mission.

One of them, a 30-year-old Malaysian national, suffered brain damage and died on Christmas Day. MORE
