Lawyer of Romanian far-right figure Călin Georgescu reportedly investigated for sexual assault of a minor

Update: In a reaction to the investigation, far-right politician Călin Georgescu denied any connection to lawyer Bogdan Mircea Petre, despite images from last year to the contrary. “I reject the information that appeared in the press, according to which the person in the image would be my lawyer. This association is completely false and represents a deliberate and tendentious disinformation,” said the pro-Russian politician.

“As a father, I strongly condemn any instrumentalization of sensitive subjects involving minors. I believe that the state has a duty to do more for the protection of children, especially in the online space. I ask the press to treat these matters with responsibility, to respect the truth, and to avoid spreading false information,” wrote Călin Georgescu on Facebook.

Initial story: Bogdan Mircea Petre, one of the lawyers who represented far-right politician Călin Georgescu, is allegedly involved in a case of sexual assault after he was caught in the act during a meeting with a minor, according to Digi24.

The “sting operation” was organized by Alex Costandachi, known in the public space as Justițiarul de Berceni. In recent years, he has posted several clips in which he caught men in the act meeting with underage girls. He filmed the alleged confrontation with Petre as well.

“Another case involving a big name. Bogdan Petre, one of Călin Georgescu’s lawyers, was caught last night while trying to convince a 15-year-old minor to get into the car with him,” wrote Alex Costandachi on his personal Facebook page. On the evening of July 8–9, he posted a video clip on TikTok showing the moment he caught Bogdan Petre in the act.

Confronted by Costandachi on camera, Petre denied meeting with a 15-year-old minor, stating that it was a “setup.” From
