Dead man walking: Court rejects Romanian's claim he's alive

17 March, 16:00
(ANSA) - BUCHAREST - A Romanian court has rejected a man's
claim that he's alive, after he was officially registered as
deceased.
A court spokeswoman said Friday that 63-year-old Constantin Reliu lost his case in the northeast city of Vasului because he appealed too late. The ruling is final.
Media reported Reliu went to Turkey in 1992 for work and lost contact with his Romanian family. His wife managed to get a death certificate for him in 2016. "I am officially dead - he asid - although I'm alive, I have no income and because I am listed dead, I can't do anything." (ANSA).
