Romania: House of Horrors!

Romania-horror! Abused elders and sold children. Mr. Godei, the driver-torturer, spent the money intended for the elderly on drugs, prostitutes, and fiddlers. In the press release of the Romanian prosecutors dealing with the “death asylums” case, the following information appears: “According to the minutes of the criminal investigation bodies from June 22, 2023, data emerged according to which Mr. Godei Stefan Cristian has significant sums of money that he spends on to periodically call on the services of some prostitutes in order to procure drugs or sums that they offer to fiddlers, meaning that according to the discussions he had on the evening of May 26-27, he spent for only one such series of entertainment in one night, the amount of USD 5000 . At the same time, it was established that he recently built a house to live in Bucharest and owns 1.5 ha of agricultural land in a village bordering Bucharest.

This individual, Stefan Godei, who is now arrested together with his brother, was the driver of the Bucharest mayor general Gabriela Firea, and then he became a businessman in Voluntari City, obtaining all the approvals and money from the state to administer the old people’s homes, generating the horrors that you read about in the Romanian press. It is clear that he achieved this by trading someone’s influence, because in Romania this is the only way you can get favourable opinions and money, but being an oriented boy, he also seduced one of Firea’s advisers so that he could be sure that, if he makes trouble, he has someone to turn to or someone to blackmail. Iosefina Pascal, the Gold FM Romania journalist, yesterday brought to attention another scandal-horror, also from Bucharest, regarding a head from the Child Protection Department, Sector 4, who sold children to a wealthy family (also) from Ilfov. The punishment received for now is that she is a criminal because she was only demoted from her position, along with the criminal investigation that has been ongoing since April. It is clear that there is chaos in the Romanian administration, which clans and gangs take advantage of. The crimes are known, but the law cannot be imposed precisely because the main beneficiaries are people from state institutions who have the power to block investigations and precisely because the circuit of stealing public money cannot be interrupted. Politicians invoke attacks by opponents and pass responsibility by making harsh statements to the media, which no longer thoroughly investigate scandals because the money of criminals has become more important than the interest of the audience, which audience is thus confused by the peddling of false information, and so public pressure decreases on state institutions meant to investigate and punish, and the guilty always get away.
