Adrian N?stase is a Romanian politician who was the Prime Minister of Romania from December 2000 to December 2004. He competed in the 2004 presidential election as the Social Democratic Party candidate, but was defeated by centre-right Justice and Truth Alliance candidate Traian B?sescu. He was the President of the Chamber of Deputies from 21 December 2004 until 15 March 2006, when he resigned due to corruption charges. On 30 January 2012, the courts gave N?stase a two-year prison sentence for misuse of a publicly funded conference to raise cash for his unsuccessful campaign in 2004. N?stase claimed the sentence was influenced by rival politician Traian B?sescu, at the time President of Romania, and indicated that if necessary, he will raise his case to the European Courts of Human Rights.
