An indictment has been filed against the former pro-Russian candidate for the presidency of Romania, Georgescu. The Guardian.
Romanian prosecutors accused Calin Giorgescu, the former winner of the annulled 2024 presidential election, of organizing a €1.1 million fraud scheme.
According to investigators, Giorgescu led an organized crime group that convinced a Romanian businessman to give them more than 1 million euros in exchange for help in obtaining a loan of up to 15 million euros from a foreign financial institution.
Giorgesco has been in pre-trial detention since late September. He and his representatives deny the accusations, calling them politically motivated.
