Călin Georgescu campaign legal investigations

Overview

Following the seizure of Călin Georgescu’s villa in Mogoșoaia by DIICOT, his supporters launched a TikTok fundraising campaign titled ‘1 euro pentru Călin Georgescu’. The campaign encouraged donations ranging from 1 to 1,000 euros, though Georgescu stated he does not require or accept financial assistance.

Legal scrutiny has since expanded to include allegations of voter corruption involving TikTok user Bogdan Peșchir, known as ‘bogpr’. Prosecutors allege that Peșchir used virtual TikTok gifts and cryptocurrency transfers, totaling approximately $290,225, to influence voters during Georgescu’s presidential campaign. While Peșchir admitted to sending virtual gifts, he denied that these were conditioned on political choices or that he had a personal relationship with Georgescu.
