Summary

Romanian prosecutors raided Brasov properties after the country’s top court annulled the first-round presidential election, citing Russian meddling and campaign violations.

Far-right candidate Calin Georgescu, who unexpectedly won the November 24 vote, faces investigation for illegal campaign funding and money laundering.

Intelligence documents detail violations of electoral laws, cyberattacks, and algorithm exploitation to boost Georgescu’s popularity.

The annulment delays the second-round vote, with new elections to be scheduled by the incoming government.
