What happens

Captured Justice (Romanian: Justiție capturată) is a Romanian investigative documentary film published by Recorder on YouTube on 9 December 2025. The film examines the state of the Romanian justice system in 2025, focusing on the widespread use of statutory limitations in criminal cases and the effects of power centralisation within a small number of judicial institutions. The documentary was released one day before a ruling of the Constitutional Court of Romania concerning the pension system of magistrates, a timing that drew significant public attention and commentary. On 10 December 2025, the documentary was broadcast by the public television channel TVR, where it recorded the second-highest audience rating of the year for the station, with approximately 382,000 viewers.
