Toma Ghi?ulescu (29 June 1902 – 26 October 1983) was a Romanian politician and Olympic bobsledder. He was known for being an officially-rehabilitated member of the Axis-aligned World War II-era Government of Marshal Ion Antonescu.
Following the Nuremberg Trials model, Ghi?ulescu was sentenced in 1949 for "crimes against peace" due to being part of the Antonescu administration.
However, on 26 October 1998, Ghi?ulescu was rehabilitated by the Romanian Supreme Court.
His acquittal was made possible by the briefness of his term as Undersecretary of State in the National Economy Minister (5 April to 26 May 1941) as well as the fact that he resigned before 30 June 1941, the date of the Ia?i pogrom.
The case of Ghi?ulescu is however not unique, as the Romanian Supreme Court also rehabilitated Gheron Netta on 17 January 2000.
Netta served as Finance Minister between 1 April and 23 August 1944, in the Third Antonescu cabinet.He also competed in the four-man event at the 1928 Winter Olympics.
