Marius Lulea is asking the authorities to clarify not only the placing of a pig's head in front of his home, but also any subsequent actions that may have prevented the truth from coming to light. The reaction of the former AUR leader comes after Adrian Jucătoru, a counselor for the AUR formation employed by the Chamber of Deputies, publicly took responsibility for the incident.

In a video posted on Facebook, Jucătoru stated that he had placed the pig's head and made the stickers associated with the action. He claimed that the entire operation had been prompted by Marius Lulea, through Ariadna Cîrligeanu, and that it had even involved Lulea's family so that the scenario would appear real. The man apologized for this.

Lulea stated that he feels compassion for the people who may have acted at the urging of others, but stressed that everyone must answer for their own choices. He called for the investigation of possible acts such as influencing statements, falsely assuming responsibility, aiding the perpetrator, obstructing justice, or destroying evidence.

The former AUR leader specified that determining the facts, responsibilities, and legal classification falls exclusively to the judicial authorities. The investigation is expected to establish whether coordinated actions took place and what the legal status of those involved is.

Context: Marius Lulea called for an investigation after finding a pig's head at his gate, and the case escalated with a second incident

Initially, Marius Lulea (AUR founder) alerted the police after finding a pig's head at the gate of his home during the night, along with a poster stuck to his car. Lulea said that, before the incident, he had also noticed a poster with a threatening message in the area, and the authorities began reviewing footage captured by surveillance cameras to identify the people involved.

Subsequently, AUR called on the authorities to investigate the case and establish responsibility, while George Simion, in turn, called for a swift, evidence-based investigation, without “televised verdicts.” Just a few days after the first incident, Lulea also reported a second pig's head left at the premises of a company in Tunari, and a retired SRI colonel warned that the repetition of such acts could indicate an escalation and that the intimidation could become more violent if the perpetrators were not identified.
