Romania, Calin Georgescu indicted

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, SEP 16 - The Bucharest Prosecutor's Office has officially charged Calin Georgescu, a far-right politician, and Horatiu Potra with complicity in a coup attempt. According to the Prosecutor General, as reported by local media, "the presidential candidate benefited from Russia's hybrid warfare actions." The elections in late 2024, which featured Georgescu as the surprise winner in the first round, were called off due to Russian cyberattacks on key institutions and aggressive online campaigns in Georgescu's favour, which were carried out using artificial intelligence.
