The Sibiu court won the Sibiu County Administration of Public Finances, on Tuesday, on the merits, in the litigation for the other half of the house located in the historic center of the Sibiu municipality, for which the former president Klaus Iohannis already owes compensation to the Romanian state, according to the information on the justice portal.
The institution needed this court decision to be able to register the house with the other half, which had not been in the name of Iohannis, but in the name of Baștea, Agerpres explained.
In parallel, in November, the General Regional Directorate of Public Finances Brașov had attacked the decision of the Sibiu Court to reject the request for the establishment of the insurance seizure on the assets of the Iohannis family.
“The Romanian State, through DGRFP Brașov, registered with the competent court an action requesting the obligation of a former president of Romania to pay compensation for the lack of use of the 1/2 share of a building located in the center of the city of Sibiu”, declared the National Tax Administration Agency (ANAF) at that time.
ANAF stated that “the defendants refused voluntary payment”, so “the court was also requested to institute security measures on their assets, to guarantee the recovery of the sums due to the state”.
The Iohannis family was forcibly executed, in October, for the ½ share they owned in the building located on Nicolae Bălcescu street number 29 in Sibiu, lost in court.

Debt of almost one million euros
In August, ANAF had notified the former president that he had to pay 4.7 million lei, representing the amount collected from the rents, plus penalties and interest, for this building.
The former presidential couple owned a building on Nicolae Bălcescu street number 29 in Sibiu between 1999-2016, collecting over 320,000 euros from the rent paid by Raiffeisen Bank for the ground floor of the house, according to Riseproject.ro.
With this money, the investigative publication wrote in a 2015 article, Iohannis bought three other houses, thus obtaining other rental income.
In September 2024, the Iohannis family lost a second building in Sibiu, on Gheorghe Magheru Street 35. This was one of the disputes that prevented the Romanian state from recovering the space on Nicolae Bălcescu Street despite the court decision of November 2015.
