Prosecutors intercept Călin Georgescu, who claims his mission was to expose the entire system
DIICOT prosecutors intercepted Călin Georgescu during an investigation, where he told associate Ionel Rusen he aimed to reveal the whole system, including George Simion.
In a DIICOT interrogation, Călin Georgescu disclosed to his co-accused Ionel Rusen that his objective was to expose the whole system, specifically mentioning George Simion. The recorded dialogue shows Georgescu also encouraging Rusen, who faces the same fraud probe, to move to Italy until Georgescu becomes president. Prosecutors’ request for preventive detention states that Georgescu knew about the criminal case, considered the probe inactive, and claimed to have received feedback indicating a lack of evidence.
The transcripts were obtained. The investigation concerns alleged fraud, and both men are currently under scrutiny.
Why it matters
The intercepted statements suggest possible political motives behind a fraud investigation, raising concerns about interference with justice.
