A 46-year-old man was detained in Bucharest after allegedly urging people online to storm an arrest centre and attack police and gendarmes. Police said he made the calls via social media, including a live broadcast outside the detention and arrest facility, aiming to free a person held on remand. According to Bucharest police, the first incident took place on 5 November 2026 when the man broadcast live in front of the centre. During the transmission, he allegedly encouraged viewers to enter the institution without authorization and to assault police. Investigators said he then posted two more messages on 8 and 9 November, urging violence against gendarmes in connection with a protest scheduled for 14 November. Police moved to identify and locate the suspect with help from gendarmes. On 11 November, he was found near the same arrest centre while taking part in an organized protest supporting the person in pre-trial detention. Authorities detained him for 24 hours and plan to present the case to a judge. The investigation focuses on public incitement in a continued form, with proceedings carried out by the criminal investigation service in Sector 5 under the supervision of the prosecutor’s office attached to the Sector 5 court. The police said the investigation is ongoing.
