Teo Peter

Teofil Nelu Peter (11 April 1954 – 4 December 2004) was a Romanian rock musician and bass player for Compact.

[4] Although Van Goethem had admitted to drinking about three and a half beers over the course of the evening, tests of his blood returned negative for both alcohol and drugs,[5] and he fled to Germany[6] before charges could be filed in Romania.

Van Goethem was later cleared by a court martial of both manslaughter and adultery while convicted for obstruction of justice and making false statements.

[5] Peter's death and Van Goethem's court martial were very controversial and led to protests from Romanians[8] in the United States.
