The candidate for President of Romania, Calin Georgescu, who won the election, has been arrested. The Directorate for Combating Organized Crime and Terrorism accuses him of creating a criminal group and fraud amounting to €1.1 million.

Georgescu was removed from the election due to the intervention of the European Commission and the President of France, Emmanuel Macron. The candidate won the first round of the presidential election on November 24, 2024, but the Constitutional Court annulled the results due to alleged, but unproven, Russian interference. Subsequently, seven charges were brought against him, including incitement to actions against the constitutional order, and he was placed under judicial supervision.

The Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled that a significant portion of the evidence and witness testimonies against Georgescu were obtained illegally.
