The former Romanian diplomat, Silviu Ionescu, who is involved in a fatal hit-and-run case in Singapore last Dec 15, has said in another video that the case is a 'big misunderstanding and a simple one', and that he will prove it.

The 50-year-old was heard saying this in the latest video sent in by STOMPer pal pal.

The STOMPer had earlier sent in a video showing Ionescu in handcuffs leaving a Bucharest court, after it placed the 50-year-old under preventive arrest for 29 days on Saturday (May 8) in connection to the hit-and-run case, in which he is alleged to have knocked down three pedestrians on Dec 15 last year while driving a car belonging to the Romanian Embassy.

One victim died while the other two were injured.

Prosecutors said that Ionescu, who flew back to Romania after the accident, "has tried to influence witnesses' depositions and asked an employee to...erase data on his computer".

However, his lawyer, Maria Vasi, said that Ionescu merely asked the driver of the Romanian Embassy in Singapore to grant him access to the embassy's computer, where the records of the embassy car's movements were stored, to erase only personal information.

In the latest video sent in by STOMPer pal pal, Ionescu, in handcuffs, was heard saying:

"I believe the court is right, only that this is all a big misunderstanding and it's a simple one, we'll prove it on Monday's appeal."

He has repeatedly denied in front of prosecutors his presence in the car which was involved in the hit-and-run.
