A man was detained after allegedly inciting people to attack the Central Detention Center and free Călin Georgescu

A 46-year-old man was detained for 24 hours after being accused of inciting Călin Georgescu’s supporters to enter the Central Detention Center of the Capital City Police, assault employees of the institution and free the former presidential candidate. He is due to be brought before judges, with prosecutors seeking pretrial detention.

According to the Capital City Police, the man allegedly broadcast live on November 5, 2026, from outside the detention center, while a protest was taking place there. During the broadcast, he allegedly spoke about organizing a large group, using cars and a helicopter to get Călin Georgescu out of detention, and urged people to commit acts of violence against police officers.

Officers from the Sector 5 Criminal Investigations Service notified themselves and are investigating him for continued public incitement. Investigators say that, on November 8 and 9, the man allegedly posted two more messages urging his followers to resort to violence against gendarmes, in the context of a protest announced for November 14.

The suspect was identified on Wednesday near the Central Detention Center while taking part in a protest in support of Călin Georgescu. The investigation is being conducted under the supervision of the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Sector 5 District Court.
