1956

1963
1980
Answer
The overturning of Pântea's war crimes verdict in 1956 marked the rehabilitation of his reputation. Following his 1947 conviction and sentence, he consistently appealed the verdict. The Romanian Supreme Court revised the trial in light of new evidence and testimonies, ultimately exonerating him. This development was significant in restoring his legacy and offering justice after years of unjust condemnation.
