Alexandru Toader, the son of Tudorel Toader, was placed in 30-day pretrial detention in a sexual assault case

Alexandru Toader, the son of former CCR judge Tudorel Toader, was remanded in custody for 30 days on Saturday, October 24, 2026, by a decision of the Iași Court of Appeal. The warrant is valid until November 22, inclusive, and the defendant may challenge the ruling within 48 hours.

The court's decision comes after he had been detained for 24 hours in a case handled by the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Iași Court of Appeal. Prosecutors are investigating him for continuous rape, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, and using his position for sexual purposes. According to investigators, the acts were allegedly committed against several female students of the university.

Prosecutors claim that Alexandru Toader allegedly took advantage of the authority conferred by his teaching position and his position of superiority over the female students. The investigation is ongoing, and the allegations are to be examined during the judicial proceedings.

Tudorel Toader stated that his son allegedly had not known about the case before being detained and described the case as an indirect attack against him. The court ordered the immediate issuance of the pretrial detention warrant.
