A Romanian judge from Suceava has been demoted after allegations she was indulging in witchcraft while on the job.
The Sunday Telegraph reported that Judge Elena Simionescu lost her position as the president of the court in the Romanian town of Vatra Dornei after her co-workers made witchcraft allegations against her.
Several judges, prosecutors and other court staff alleged that Simionescu used her magical ways to cast spells on them and bewitch their lives.
"She had many quarrels with people working in the court. We were all convinced that she was casting spells," one local lawyer said. "I can tell you those people were terrified."
The judge got into deeper hot water when she misplaced an important court document and Inspectors looking into the matter found that Simionescu's actions increased tension at her workplace.
For that reason, the newspaper said she lost her position and 15 percent of her monthly salary as punishment.
