Police officers issued a protection order against Ilie Năstase after his wife reported that she had been threatened

Police in Constanța reportedly issued a provisional protection order against Ilie Năstase following a verbal conflict with his wife, Ioana Simion, on Sunday evening, September 6, in Năvodari. The woman reportedly claimed that she had been insulted and threatened. According to the Constanța County Police Inspectorate, officers were alerted by a woman who said she had had a verbal conflict with her husband. She reportedly told them that the two had already been experiencing conflict, but that she had not previously requested the authorities’ intervention. Following an assessment of the situation, police reportedly determined that there was an imminent risk of domestic violence and issued a provisional protection order. The woman also requested electronic monitoring of her husband. The prosecutor handling the case subsequently overturned the order, but police opened a criminal case and are continuing their investigation to establish exactly what happened. Sources cited by Ziua de Constanța claim that the people involved are former tennis player Ilie Năstase, aged 80, and his wife, Ioana Simion, aged 49. The two have been going through divorce proceedings since 2025. They married in 2020, and their relationship has been marked by repeated breakups and reconciliations.,
