Two union leaders from Bacău are being investigated for allegedly embezzling 600,000 lei from the organization’s fund

Two leaders of a trade union organization in Bacău County are being criminally investigated for embezzlement and fraudulent management after prosecutors alleged that they caused the union losses of approximately 600,000 lei. The acts were allegedly committed between 2021 and 2023, and the investigation is being conducted by the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Bacău Tribunal.

Prosecutors carried out three home searches as part of the case. According to investigators, the two suspects, who held leadership positions in the trade union organization, allegedly fraudulently administered and preserved the union’s assets and appropriated part of the money they managed.

The evidence gathered so far indicates a suspicion that the funds may have been used to purchase household appliances and other goods for personal use. Following the searches, investigators identified several household appliances, which were left in the custody of the two suspects, and seized a sum of money.

The case prosecutor did not order preventive measures and did not refer the matter to the judge for rights and freedoms with a proposal to that effect. The investigation continues in a criminal case concerning the offenses of continued embezzlement and continued fraudulent management. The suspects benefit from the presumption of innocence until a final decision is issued.
