Investigators found two jamming devices in Călin Georgescu’s car / Searches continue at the home of the former presidential candidate

Investigators found two jamming devices, of different models, in the car used by Călin Georgescu, during checks carried out on Monday in the DIICOT case concerning an alleged fraud causing damages of more than 1.1 million euros. The information is attributed to sources close to the investigation, and the devices are to undergo technical analysis.

Investigators must determine the frequencies on which the devices operate, their characteristics, and whether they were used. A jammer can disrupt GSM communications, GPS signals, or other radio transmissions, but the photographs do not allow these aspects to be established. The possession and use of such equipment are strictly regulated.

A diplomatic-looking identification card issued in Georgescu’s name was also allegedly found in the vehicle, identifying him as “senator” and “prior of United States of America” of the “Order of Malta”. The sources claim that the document was allegedly used to create credibility in front of investors, but it does not correspond to the name of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta recognized by Romania.

In the same operation, investigators also checked the car of businessman Ionel Rusen. DIICOT is investigating a group that allegedly promised a victim financing worth millions of euros in exchange for guarantees. Those targeted benefit from the presumption of innocence, and the institution has not publicly explained the connection between the devices and the case.
