DIICOT, Romania’s law enforcement agency tasked with investigating and prosecuting organized crime, drug trafficking, cybercrime, financial crimes, and terrorism-related offenses, and the national police ambushed Călin Georgescu in traffic before 7 a.m. Monday in Bucharest.
According to reports from the European press, authorities yanked him from the car with his son, Petru, still inside and raced both to the family house in Mogoșoaian. Masked police units then smashed the front door with a ram while Cristela Georgescu and their youngest boy, Pavel, stood inside getting ready for school. The raid dragged on for nine hours.
Officers hit five addresses that morning in Bucharest, Mogoșoaia, Ciolpani, and Buftea.
They filmed themselves storming the property and claimed they found €5,000. Georgescu was then hauled to DIICOT headquarters and marched out in handcuffs that evening. He spent the night in Bucharest’s central jail.

Prosecutors now demand 30 days of preventive lock-up. The regime accuses him of running an organized crime group and committing fraud with particularly serious consequences. The story they suddenly revived claims he and two others posed as foreign money men in 2021.
They supposedly promised businessman Răzvan Leu fat Swiss loans in return for cash guarantees. Leu handed over more than €1.1 million. The loans never came. Sources name Ionel Rusen and Italian Massimiliano Arena as the other two.
