Giorgio Comai (g)'s status on Sunday, 10-Nov-2019 00:26:27 CET Giorgio Comai Checking out diaspora turnout by age and country in #Romania's presidential elections. Noteworthy:
- on average much younger in UK and Germany, older in Italy and Spain
- distinct uptick in voters who are exactly between 50 and 52 everywhere.
Interesting! But why? "Obvious" explanation: those who became of age immediately after 1989. Is it a common trend across the region?

OCCRP (occrp)'s status on Thursday, 07-Mar-2019 15:42:52 CET OCCRP Because of lack of oversight, Romania’s seven cement factories can burn anything, including legally forbidden substances such as medical waste – at the expense of ordinary citizens forced to breathe and live amid the toxic fumes emanating from their smokestacks.
OCCRP traces this corrupt practice across Europe in “Cement’s Dirty Business.”

OCCRP (occrp)'s status on Thursday, 31-Jan-2019 16:08:51 CET OCCRP NEW INVESTIGATION: Import tractors into Romania. Cart them temporarily into Bulgaria to generate fraudulent export & import papers. Now sell them to your Romanian customers — classified as “importers” instead of end users.
That’s how a criminal group evaded over €1 million in VAT.

Giorgio Comai (giocomai)'s status on Friday, 21-Dec-2018 22:53:24 CET Giorgio Comai #Romania 🇷🇴, 22 December 1989. 29 years ago. Actual fear and fearlessness. Many contradictions. Live television in revolutionary times, after decades of dull Ceaușescu TV. Before the dust settled, when little was known, and all outcomes seemed possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs8nkNtjPU4 -

OCCRP (occrp)'s status on Friday, 22-Jun-2018 11:32:03 CEST OCCRP Recently ranked as Latin America's happiest country, #CostaRica 🌴 has indeed proven a happy place for one kind of guest: fugitives from #Romania.

They found help in the form of a Romanian who has a checkered past himself.
