Buzău businessman accuses Călin Georgescu of fraud in failed financing scheme

Răzvan Leu, a Buzău entrepreneur, said he filed a criminal complaint in January 2024 after losing a large sum in a promised foreign loan that never materialised.

Răzvan Leu, a businessman from Buzău and partner in Dacia Romanian Dining, publicly affirmed that he submitted a criminal complaint in January 2024, which formed the basis of a DIICOT case against Călin Georgescu. Leu alleges that Georgescu promised an international financing arrangement and asked him to provide a substantial guarantee, which was never fulfilled. After years of unsuccessful informal attempts to retrieve the funds, Leu turned to the police, emphasizing his complete trust in Georgescu’s statements at the time.

He stresses that his involvement is purely a matter of justice and financial restitution, not political. Leu also respects the presumption of innocence for all parties and will not comment on evidentiary details. The same day, DIICOT conducted raids in Bucharest and nearby localities as part of the broader fraud investigation.

Why it matters

The case highlights potential large-scale financial fraud and the role of law enforcement in protecting investors.
