Live broadcast from Central Detention: "We go in and kill them all"
A 46-year-old man was detained by police after publicly inciting forced entry into the Central Detention facility in Bucharest and committing acts of violence against staff, with the aim of freeing Călin Georgescu, according to ProTV News.
The Bucharest Police, cited by Agerpres, reported that officers from the Criminal Investigations Service Sector 5 initiated proceedings ex officio regarding the crime of public incitement in continuing form. On 5 November 2026, the man allegedly created and broadcast live on a social media network a recording from in front of a detention and preventive arrest centre of the Bucharest Police.
During the broadcast, he allegedly verbally incited the public to unlawfully enter the facility's premises and commit violence against its staff in order to free Călin Georgescu, against whom the court had ordered preventive arrest.
"To get Călin Georgescu out of there, we need somewhere around 20,000–30,000. Romania has 30,000 gendarmes. You can't do it with 10 people. Maybe 100 cars, armed, prepared, equipped (...) Boom, we got in, we got Georgescu out with a helicopter and left. You need to plan it beforehand. You can't do it with 20–30 people. Listen, 100 people, about 20 cars, 10 to hold a six, 10 to enter Central Detention. We enter Central Detention, we kill them all, we get Călin out of there with a helicopter," the man is heard saying in the live broadcast, which took place whilst a protest by supporters of the former presidential election candidate was occurring outside the detention facility.
Subsequently, on 8 and 9 November 2026, the same man allegedly published two further posts in which he incited the public, including his followers, to resort to violence against gendarmes in the context of a protest announced for 14 November.
The man was found on Wednesday in the vicinity of Central Detention whilst taking part in a new protest action in support of Georgescu. He was detained for 24 hours and is to be presented to magistrates with a proposal for preventive arrest.
The investigation is being continued by officers from the Criminal Investigations Service Sector 5 under the supervision of the Prosecutor's Office attached to the District Court 5, regarding the crime of public incitement in continuing form.
