Hunedoara mayor announces lawsuit against Rapid over Lobonț compensation

Hunedoara mayor Dan Bobouțanu announced that the municipality intends to take legal action against Rapid concerning alleged unpaid compensation involving Bogdan Lobonț. Speaking to GSP, Bobouțanu declared that Hunedoara would go to court and would no longer forgive the matter, stating explicitly that they want the money for Lobonț.

The mayor confirmed that Hunedoara will engage a law firm to handle the case and insisted the issue would not be abandoned. He quantified the alleged debt at 900,000 dollars, asserting this sum belongs to Hunedoara in relation to Bogdan Lobonț.

Addressing potential corporate restructuring arguments, Bobouțanu argued that while the former UFC Rapid company no longer exists, the current club acts as its successor. He cited the current entity's use of historical chants and titles in its official record as evidence of continuity for liability purposes.

In his public remarks, Bobouțanu specifically directed demands for payment toward Mr. Șucu. These statements were made following Corvinul Hunedoara’s 1-0 victory over FCSB at Arena Națională, though the mayor distinguished this sporting result from the separate financial dispute with Rapid.
