Bribery investigation into Romanian energy project

Overview

Romanian authorities, specifically the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA), are investigating an alleged bribery scheme involving Gregor Hudohmet, the former director of GEN-I Sonce, and Cristian Theodor Dragomir, the former CEO of Waldevar Energy.

The investigation concerns a large-scale energy storage battery project in Gheorgheni, valued at over €22 million. Prosecutors allege that between February and September 2026, Hudohmet requested a €450,000 success fee, plus VAT, which represented 2% of the contract value. Authorities claim this payment was disguised through a commission contract for services that were not actually rendered.

Evidence for the case reportedly includes secret recordings made by the head of a Romanian contracting company. Following the allegations, the Bucharest Tribunal ordered 30-day preventive arrests for both Hudohmet and Dragomir on September 26. In response to the probe, GEN-I management initiated an audit and appointed interim directors, stating a policy of “zero tolerance for corruption.”
