Diana Șoșoacă, sent to trial for outrage after allegedly threatening two police officers

MEP Diana Șoșoacă, president of the SOS Romania party, has been sent to trial, at liberty, for two offenses of assaulting public officials, after allegedly threatening two police officers who came to her home in Bucharest to hand her a fine for an administrative offense.

The decision to send her to trial was made by the case prosecutor from the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice, who forwarded the indictment to the High Court of Cassation and Justice, the court competent to hear the case at first instance.

According to investigators, the incident took place on 15 December 2024. The police officers allegedly informed her of the reason for their presence, but Șoșoacă allegedly refused to accept the document and prevented them from posting the report on the door of the residence. Subsequently, she allegedly followed them down the street and hurled insults at them.

Prosecutors claim that the MEP also allegedly threatened them in a live broadcast on TikTok and Facebook, stating that she could “blow their brains out.” The police officers allegedly directly perceived the threats and experienced a strong state of fear.

The fine was related to the fact that Șoșoacă allegedly filmed herself in the voting booth and broadcast the footage online during the first round of the presidential election on 24 November 2024, violating the provisions of electoral law.
