A Romanian court extended the pre-trial detention of Calin Georgescu by 30 days, in an investigation into an alleged 1.1-million-euro fraud case.

The ruling by the Bucharest Court of Appeal overturned an October 13 decision by a lower court that ordered the pro-Russian former frontrunner in Romania's canceled 2024 presidential election to be moved from police custody to house arrest for 30 days. The court kept Georgescu and Ionel Rusen in detention until November 27, 2026, in a decision that is final.
