Romanian police raid properties over shady presidential campaign money
Law enforcement searched three locations in Brasov about illegal funding of a presidential campaign. Investigators focus on cyber-fraud and money-laundering connected to **Calin Georgescuʼs** campaign
Romanian law-enforcement searched three properties in mid-Romaniaʼs city of Brasov yesterday (the search was connected to questionable financing of Calin Georgescuʼs presidential bid)
The timing is notable - these raids happened right after Romaniaʼs high-court cancelled first-round election results where Georgescu got most votes. The prosecutors suspect a complex money scheme: illegal funds went through cyber-fraud and money-laundering to support the far-right candidates campaign
The investigation focuses on several key-points:
- voter manipulation schemes
- cyber-crime activities
- washing of illegal money
- campaign finance law breaking
Authorities believe that someone used crime-related money to push Georgescuʼs bid for presidency‚ but didnt give more details about exact criminal activities
