Marian Clită

Marian Clită (born September 1951 in Slobozia) is a Romanian convicted of first degree murder.

Conviction for murder of dissident Gheorghe Ursu In the late 1990s, Gheorghe Ursu's cellmate Marian Clită had declared his full responsibility for the murder of the dissident, and had been sentenced to 20 years in prison (eventually commuted to eight years, of which he served two). The two were found guilty of deliberately assigning Ursu to a cell where two recidivist and violent common criminals were serving time, and of having prevented their subordinates from intervening when the prisoner was being beaten. The case drew some international interest after a local police officer commented on the case: "Romanians have no scruples. They will kill you for 100 krones".
