Romanian police arrested six citizens accused of organizing a paramilitary group backed by Moscow, related to the expulsion of two Russian diplomats. The group is suspected of treason and subversive activities aimed against Romania's constitutional order, including influencing politics and threatening Romania's NATO alliance. They reportedly interacted with Russian agents and visited Moscow, heightening concerns over external influence on internal security. The arrests may indicate a broader crackdown on pro-Russian activities in Romania amid escalating tensions in Eastern Europe.
The six are also suspected of "subversive actions of instigation to influence the social and political life of the country," the statement said.
The two Russian diplomats carried out intelligence gathering from strategic areas and conducted activities to support the group's anti-constitutional actions, the statement concluded.
