Romanian prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into Calin Georgescu, the far-right candidate from last year's annulled presidential election. Accused of forming antisemitic organizations and promoting war criminals, he was interrogated after a raid on 47 properties, which yielded illegal weapons and substantial cash. Georgescu has refuted all allegations, claiming governmental oppression similar to the communist era. His supporters rallied in Bucharest, while Prime Minister Ciolacu emphasized the judiciary's independence amid the controversy surrounding the presidential election, which was annulled shortly before the runoff.
Georgescu has denied any wrongdoing, stating, 'The communist Bolshevik system is continuing its heinous abuse.' His supporters protested outside the prosecutor's headquarters, demanding his freedom.
Prosecutors have raided 47 addresses linked to Georgescu, uncovering a large cache of weapons and hidden cash that raises serious questions regarding his affiliations.
Romania's Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu emphasized the independence of the judiciary: 'The law must be applied regardless of persons,' highlighting the serious legal context surrounding the investigation.
The investigation is focused on charges including the formation of an antisemitic organization and promoting war criminals, alongside illegal weapon possession and misinformation related to an electoral campaign.
