The case had been discussed for months in a process before a preliminary chamber where the accused could challenge the evidence of the prosecutors.

On Friday, the court in Bucharest said the case met the legal criteria and would proceed.

So what's the difference between this and a conviction?

It's kinda like a grand jury where they decide if there's enough evidence to proceed with the trial, but without the jury. It's what a lot of places have moved to from the grand jury.

This is an indictment I think. It just indicates that the trial can proceed if my understanding is correct.
