Application no. 9443/23
Florian-Daniel GRIGOROIU
against Romania
(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 18 December 2025 as a Committee composed of:
 Anne Louise Bormann, President,
 Sebastian Răduleţu,
 András Jakab, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 31 May 2023,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant’s details are set out in the appended table.
The applicant complained under Article 3 of the Convention about the inadequate conditions of his detention (see the appended table for details).
THE LAW
Complaints under Article 3 of the Convention (inadequate conditions of detention)
In the present application, having examined all the material before it, the Court considers that, for the reasons stated below, the applicant’s complaints are inadmissible.
The Court recalls that in Văscăuțanu v. Romania (dec.), no. 10120/23, §§ 47–59, 18 November 2025, it held that the remedy, which consists of lodging a complaint with the judge responsible for supervising the deprivation of liberty (plângerea în fața judecătorului de supraveghere a privării de libertate), provided for by Article 56 of Law no. 254/2013, has constituted, as of 6 April 2023, an effective remedy enabling individuals who allege that they are being held in inadequate conditions of detention to put an end to their situation that they denounced as being contrary to Article 3 of the Convention.
In light of all the material in its possession, the Court observes that the applicant, who alleges that he is being held in inadequate conditions of detention, did not indicate that he had pursued the available remedy before the domestic courts (see Văscăuțanu, cited above, § 65).
In view of the above, the Court finds that the applicant’s complaints concerning the poor conditions of detention (for further details see appended table) must be rejected for failure to exhaust the domestic remedy laid down in Article 56 of Law no. 254/2013, in accordance with Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Declares the application inadmissible.
Done in English and notified in writing on 29 January 2026.
