Romanian authorities detained six people for an alleged organized criminal group activity, accusing them of treason and plans to “undermine the sovereignty and independence of the Romanian state,” the country’s Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism Crimes, or DIICOT, said.
The group allegedly worked with “agents of a foreign power,” both on the territory of Romania and Russia, and was formed in “a military-type structure” involving a retired major general.
The investigators believe they carried out secret discussions conspiring to lead to Romania’s exit from NATO and “the removal of the constitutional order,” as well as changes to the country’s name, flag, and anthem.
Two group members allegedly travelled to Moscow in January to seek Russia’s support for their aims.
