Premier Victor Ponta is on trial on charges of tax evasion, money laundering, conflict of interest and making false statements while he was working as a lawyer in 2007 and 2008. He denies wrongdoing.
Lawmakers voted 207-8 for the no-confidence motion, well short of the 275 votes needed to dismiss Ponta from office. Lawmakers from his ruling Social Democratic Party and another party didn't vote.
