Wrong man questioned over airport bomb threat

The man identified and interviewed yesterday, July 18, after the bomb alert at the airport was proven to have had nothing to do with it. The man did call in the morning at the airport information bureau, but he requested information about flights and made no bomb threats. Interior Ministry spokesman Eugen Onica said that the investigators were trying other phone numbers and working on identifying the perpetrator. On Wednesday morning, July 18, hundreds of passengers and the airport personnel were evacuated after a man called at the information bureau and claimed that a bomb had been placed in the airport. After two hours’ searching, bomb disposal experts didn’t find anything. Shortly, the police announced that the phone number used to make the threat was identified and a man would be quizzed. A prosecution has been started on charges of deliberate false information about an act of terrorism, which is punishable by 200 to 500 conventional units' fine or 180-240 hours of community service or even up to 2 years in jail.
