Romanian prosecutors and police conducted searches in connection with corruption allegations against far-right presidential candidate Calin Georgescu on December 7. The actions follow the Constitutional Court’s annulment of the first round of presidential elections. Investigators are looking into potential illegal campaign financing and violations related to extremist organizations. The investigation gained traction after declassified intelligence documents raised concerns about TikTok’s influence and alleged Russian interference in support of Georgescu. The court’s unprecedented decision to annul the election has shocked the nation.
