On February 26, the pro-Russian presidential candidate of Romania, Celin Georgescu, was detained by the police and taken to the General Prosecutor’s Office for questioning. About this informs Bloomberg.
Far-right politician Celin Georgescu, who aspires to become the president of Romania, previously called Ukraine a “fictional state”. Searches are being conducted in the homes of close associates of Georgescu, in particular, his bodyguard. The scandalous politician is charged with crimes against the constitutional order, false information about the sources of financing the election campaign and public incitement to a crime.
Although he declared zero expenses, the scale of the campaign he ran, during which he won the first round, indicates a significant financial infusion into his promotion. At the same time, Georgescu accused the authorities of “trying to invent evidence to justify the theft of the elections and to do everything to block my new nomination in the presidential elections.”
We will remind that the peculiarities of Georgescu’s election campaign in 2024 became the basis for canceling the election results. This decision, adopted by the Constitutional Court on December 6, has no precedents in Romanian political history.
