Calin Georgescu, a far-right populist and Moscow ally, faces a criminal investigation by Romanian prosecutors for several serious allegations, including promoting war criminals and founding an antisemitic organization. This comes as he seeks to run for a forthcoming rerun of the presidential election, which was previously annulled due to suspected Russian interference in his favor. Georgescu has rejected all accusations and claims they are politically motivated attempts to block his candidacy, arguing they reflect a broader system trying to suppress democratic choices in Romania.
Romanian prosecutors are formally investigating Calin Georgescu for multiple serious accusations, coinciding with his intent to run in the upcoming presidential election rerun.
Georgescu's initial presidential election was annulled due to alleged Russian interference and he now faces accusations of promoting war criminals and forming an antisemitic organization.
Despite legal challenges, Georgescu asserts that his fight represents democracy in Romania against a 'security system that wants us in slavery'.
The investigation follows a raid on 47 addresses linked to Georgescu's associates related to fascist and xenophobic activities and campaign financing violations.
