Romanian prosecutors arrest two in 450k euro bribery case tied to Gheorgheni energy storage project

Romanian anti-corruption prosecutors (DNA) have arrested two directors in connection with an energy storage project in Gheorgheni, alleging a 450,000 euro bribe (plus VAT) was solicited. The arrests signal active enforcement against corruption in EU-funded energy infrastructure, though details on the companies and officials involved remain limited. This is a domestic legal development with potential implications for project timelines and investor confidence in Romanian energy tenders.
