Among the 22 individuals sent to trial is also mercenary Hora\u021biu Potra, who provided security for Georgescu.<\/p>\n<p>On the same day, general prosecutor Alex Floren\u021ba presented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.romania-insider.com\/romania-general-prosecutor-early-connections-between-russia-georgescu-2025\">a document<\/a> derived from the indictment, stating that persons from C\u0103lin Georgescu\u2019s entourage had documented links with Russia, and that a company with ties to Russia had operated in Romania since 2019, following the Cambridge Analytica model, conducting microtargeting of the population on social media to determine which narratives to use.<\/p>\n<p>Nicu\u0219or Dan later\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.romania-insider.com\/calin-georgescu-backed-network-money-president-says-2025\">echoed<\/a> these accusations in social media posts and press interviews, where he spoke about the hybrid war waged by Russia against Romania.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"mailto:radu@romania-insider.com\">radu@romania-insider.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo source: Inquam Photos | George Calin)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former presidential candidate C\u0103lin Georgescu asked the Supreme Council of Magistracy (CSM) to take measures against president Nicu\u0219or Dan for allegedly pressuring judges and interfering in the justice system, G4media.ro reported.
