Romanian prosecutors freeze bank accounts of former pro-Russian candidate Călin Georgescu

On 7 October 2026, DIICOT prosecutors imposed a seizure on multiple bank accounts registered to Călin Georgescu, a 64-year-old former candidate with a pro-Russian, pro-legionary stance. He is being investigated for participation in an organized criminal group and for committing repeated serious fraud against a businessman from Buzău. The seizure was coordinated with officers from the Directorate for Criminal Investigations of the Romanian Police. Georgescu remains in preventive detention while the case proceeds, and authorities affirm that his procedural rights and the presumption of innocence are upheld throughout the investigation.
