Following the Nuremberg Trials model, he was sentenced in 1949 in absentia to 5 years of prison for "crimes against peace" due to being part of the Antonescu administration.
His acquittal was made possible by the briefness of his term as Undersecretary of State in the National Economy Ministry, as well as the fact that he resigned before 30 June 1941, the date of the Iași pogrom.

Romania backed down for the most part one month later, following the protests of two U.S. officials, Senator Alfonse D'Amato and Representative Christopher Smith.
