Romania’s first post-1989 president, Ion Iliescu, and his allies confiscated the anti-communist revolution and executed a military coup, according to military prosecutor Cătălin Ranco Pițu, who signed the indictment in the 1989 Revolution Case.
The prosecutor gave an hour-long interview to Digi24 on Monday, December 22, to mark the Revolution. During the program, he presented the conclusions he reached after gathering over 3,000 files to charge Ion Iliescu, Gelu Voican Voiculescu, and former military aviation chief Iosif Rus for crimes against humanity.
