Romania Arrests Six Over Alleged Pro-Russian Coup Plot
Romanian prosecutors have arrested six men accused of seeking Russia’s help to overthrow the government. The group, called "Vlad the Impaler Commando," included 101-year-old retired general Radu Theodoru and was inspired by the medieval ruler behind Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Authorities revealed the suspects repeatedly contacted Russian agents in Romania and Moscow. They now face charges of treason and forming an organized criminal group.
Additionally, two senior Russian diplomats—the military attaché and his deputy—were expelled from Romania for their alleged ties to the plot.
