Romanian MEP Diana \u0218o\u0219oac\u0103 has been indicted on two counts of an offense involving threats against public officials (ultraj), the Prosecutor\u2019s Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice announced, as reported by News.ro<\/a>. She will remain free while the case is heard.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on December 15, 2024, when two Bucharest police officers went to Diana \u0218o\u0219oac\u0103\u2019s home to deliver a contravention fine.<\/p>\n

According to prosecutors, the officers identified themselves and explained their reason for being there, after which \u0218o\u0219oac\u0103 became aggressive and refused to accept the document.<\/p>\n

The indictment stated that she invoked her status as an elected official, telling the officers: \u201cI am a member of the European Parliament. What are you doing at an MEP\u2019s home?\u201d<\/p>\n

The prosecutors alleged that Diana \u0218o\u0219oac\u0103 prevented the officers from posting the fine on her door and then followed them into the street, directing insults at them.<\/p>\n

She later allegedly threatened the officers during a livestream on TikTok and Facebook. Among other statements cited by prosecutors, the SOS Romania leader said she believed she might \u201cget a gun\u201d and threatened to shoot anyone approaching her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victims directly perceived the defendant\u2019s threats after viewing the video footage she had posted on social media, which caused them to experience intense fear,\u201d reads the prosecutors\u2019 statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fine concerned an incident on November 24, 2024, during the first round of Romania\u2019s presidential election. Diana \u0218o\u0219oac\u0103 filmed herself inside the voting booth and publicly broadcast the images, allegedly breaching the country\u2019s presidential election law.<\/p>\n

The indictment was submitted to Romania\u2019s High Court of Cassation and Justice, which has jurisdiction to hear the case at first instance.<\/p>\n

The charges represent allegations, and \u0218o\u0219oac\u0103 is presumed innocent unless found guilty by a final court ruling.<\/p>\n

This is not the first criminal case involving the MEP. Back in July, prosecutors from the General Prosecutor\u2019s Office indicted Diana \u0218o\u0219oac\u0103 and her former husband<\/a> in a case concerning the alleged unlawful deprivation of liberty of several Italian journalists in 2021.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
