The drama of Ionut Gologan, the Romanian arrested in Malaysia nine years ago. “My boy was left without teeth in his mouth”

Ionut Gologan, the Romanian who was caught with drugs nine years ago at an airport in Malaysia and who finally received a sentence of 20 years in prison, is living a real drama behind bars.

Dumitru Gologan, the young man’s father, claims that he became skin and bone and has no teeth in his mouth, after being tortured behind bars. “My boy was left without teeth in his mouth, he was beaten and tortured, his skin and bone were weakened by no one would recognize him,” the man told the Prahovean Observatory.

A poor child, Ionut was raised by his father and grandmother, after the child’s mother abandoned him. The two now hope to see him at home one day.

“It’s hard, it’s very hard. It’s my only child. I was helped with money, but what’s the use … The sentence is the same. There is no diplomatic agreement between the two countries. My child was used. He didn’t even know what was in luggage, at the time it was found methamphetamine. He was a poor country child, used by others as a carrier. What was in his mind … It doesn’t even matter anymore. Her whole life has been destroyed, she looks awful, I don’t even recognize her voice when we talk on the phone. He wants to go to the country, he wants to go home, but the laws are very harsh there for drug trafficking. We really miss him, we know he was wrong, but he doesn’t deserve such a fate “confessed Dumitru Gologan.

Ionut Gologan is the first Romanian to receive the death penalty for drug trafficking. He was caught 9 years ago at Kuala Lumpur airport with drugs and received 20 years in prison and 10 lashes after being initially sentenced to death.
