Romanian individuals arrested for violating domestic protection orders

In late July 2026, several people in Romania were detained for breaching court‑issued protection orders. In Botoșani, a 31‑year‑old man broke his mother‑in‑law’s balcony glass after a protection order barred him from contact, resulting in a 30‑day pre‑trial detention. In the same county, a 43‑year‑old woman from Lunca threatened her husband with violence, prompting police to place her in custody.

In Craiova, a 32‑year‑old man contacted his former partner by phone despite a month‑long protection order, uttering threats; he was held for 24 hours. In Turceni, a 34‑year‑old son ignored a provisional order that required him to stay at least 100 metres from his 61‑year‑old mother’s home, leading to a 24‑hour detention, while a 40‑year‑old man in nearby Glogova faced the same charge for similar reasons. All arrests were made by local police following complaints from the protected individuals, and the suspects are being investigated for violation of protection measures and related intimidation offenses.
