The president of the court of law who sentenced the journalist Feri Predescu in favour of mayor Radu Mazăre, Beatrice Mariş, received from the beneficiary of this decision a land, in respect of Law 10/2001.
Beatrice Mariş caught the attention of the public eye as she allowed this dangerous precedent in Constanţa justice to take place: sentencing a journalist for moral injuries against mayor Radu Mazăre.
The decision of the court presided by Beatrice Mariş was contested by a public petition against those who sentenced Feri Predescu.

However, the document does not state though who were the buyers, where was the land situated or what type of car was that, as such pieces of information should be included in a complete and correct statement of asset.

The husband is not mentioned in the public document. Nevertheless, we will find the 252 lei allocation of the son, Theodor George Mariş.
