# CNSAS release of Romanian Securitate archives > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/cnsas-release-of-romanian-securitate-archives > Updated: 2026-08-18T14:15:34.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. The National Council for the Study of the Securitate Archives (CNSAS) has released new documents providing insight into the Ceaușescu era in Romania. These records detail the severe economic hardships of the 1980s, including food shortages and a failing agricultural sector that relied heavily on manual labor due to a lack of fuel and investment. The disclosures have also identified specific individuals as former collaborators with the Securitate. Files reveal that businessman Dan Șucu, patron of the Rapid Bucharest football club, operated under the codename ‘Mircea Crișan’ from 1984 until late 1989, submitting at least 58 reports. Additionally, documents identify former Romanian U21 national team coach Emil Săndoi as a collaborator under the code name ‘Eugen’ starting in 1985. While the records for Șucu stop shortly before the fall of the regime, the files for Săndoi note he was characterized by neighbors as a sociable individual, though he later stated he did not remember the collaboration. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-18: Romania: CNSAS documents reveal 1980s hardships and collaborator ties CNSAS documents reveal the harsh economic realities of 1980s Romania and identify former football coach Emil Săndoi as a former Securitate collaborator under the code name ‘Eugen’. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/romania-cnsas-documents-reveal-1980s-hardships-and-collaborator-ties ### 2026-07-28: Romanian businessman Dan Sucu's secret police informant dossier released CNSAS archives reveal Dan Șucu, Rapid Bucharest patron, served as a Securitatea informant under the codename “Mircea Crișan” from 1984‑1989, with no record of termination before the post‑communist transition. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/romanian-businessman-dan-sucus-secret-police-informant-dossier-released --- Cite as: CNSAS release of Romanian Securitate archives.
