Former Interior Minister Predoiu warns of rising sabotage and possible terrorist threats in Romania

Cătălin Predoiu used a social-media message to commend the coordinated action of SRI, DIICOT and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in neutralising the sabotage network linked to the Carfil industrial platform. He emphasized the contributions of police forces, intelligence structures and cross-border police collaboration in the successful operation. Predoiu warned that the incident signals a broader surge in hybrid pressures on Romania’s security institutions, foreseeing more sabotage and even terrorist-type attacks.

He criticised opponents of the security services who overlook the challenges and resources they face. The former minister urged rapid investment in logistics, financing and capacity-building to ensure the agencies can meet emerging threats effectively.
