The Romanian police explained that the head of the structure, Quaestor Liviu Vasilescu, did the right thing, meeting at night with the undercover of the Duduianu clan. They didn’t find a better solution, the police say.
The operation was a success, because there was no violence at the funeral of the leader Emi Pian and there was no outbreak of coronavirus, reports the structure.
The explanations were brought through a statement, on Saturday, by the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police, who wanted to bring “Clarifications of issues that have arisen in the public sphere”.
“The Romanian Police has acted legally, correctly, in accordance with all current regulations, which do not apply in cases of crisis only in our country, but also internationally. In any situation of this nature, the most efficient solution is analyzed and implemented, so that the protection of life and the integrity of people has priority ”. Romanian police representatives started their discussion.
To criticism that law enforcement officers were impassively watching the crowd at Emi Pian’s funeral, IGPR responded: Thus, among other measures, more than 250 sanctions were applied in Bucharest, the funeral respecting current legal regulations. The distribution of the 500 packages was also prohibited, thus not creating a coronavirus outbreak in that area. “
Police also responded to voices claiming that they did not prevent the murder of Emi Pian by an opponent, at a bearded party. This is a supposed lack of cause “Shortage of personnel and departure of professionals” Law enforcement officers also said.
In addition, the Cuestodor Vasilescu should not be blamed and in no case should he give up the midnight negotiations with the Duduian leaders, because he avoided possible violence at the funeral, putting citizens in danger and even spreading the coronavirus. Everything, just through dialogue, consider IGPR. Also, he came on vacation to fix the problem.
Consequently, today we come to discuss why the Romanian Police Chief took to the streets to solve the problem, precisely because at that time it was the only efficient operational solution, in Romanian, we had no other solution to guarantee the success of the operation. Sad but true. (Specifically, Quaestor Vasilescu was on leave for 5 days, was called urgently and solved the problem in 5 hours, and the Romanian Police Chief was not on his first “field trip” since taking office anyway) . In conclusion, Quaestor Vasilescu was the only one considered to have the necessary experience to coordinate operationally, nor did he hide, he did not do anything illegal, acting according to the “letter of the manual” of police tactics, which every policeman should know. (Also, as you noted, the task force always knew where the cameras were) “ It is mentioned in the police statement.
The structure also explained why the meeting took place at night: “It just came to our attention then. A time was chosen so that there is no possibility of this information being disseminated quickly to all those who announced their presence and of whom we had information that they will be present at 2:00 pm.”
“Why weren’t family members summoned to speak at the police headquarters? Because a tactical handicap would have been created, they might refuse to show up. (Usually these people are brought to the police with warrants! arrest!) “ the police representatives also explained.
We also reproduce the full statement of the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police
CLARIFICATION OF SOME ISSUES IN PUBLIC SPACE
Did the Romanian police act correctly or not?
Why didn’t you communicate?
Why was it necessary for the Chief of Police to participate in this action?
Does the chief of police resign or retire?
Why do we have thieves?
Why don’t you destroy them?
ETC.
These are just some of the questions and opinions expressed lately in public space against us, the police.
Because we have an obligation to report correctly, but also because we also learned something from this event, here we will respond:
The Romanian Police has acted legally, correctly, in accordance with all current regulations, which do not apply in cases of crisis only in our country, but also internationally. In any situation of this nature, you analyze and implement the most effective solution, so that the protection of life and the integrity of people has priority. We are not the only ones to apologize or justify the action, but experts in crisis management say so, in accordance with the rules of police tactics and intelligence gathering, which also apply in other states with experience in handling this type of crisis. events.
We know, there were voices that said why we allowed this event to last so long, why we allowed the vigil to be at home. What nobody said, not even us, was that, according to the law, the Romanian Police do not apply sanctioning measures in this area.
We will not retake the full course of events, we will only remember that this event was analyzed from two perspectives: limiting the spread of the new coronavirus, respectively, and very importantly, preventing acts of violence, which could seriously affect public order.
There were quite a few people who said that the police intervened and stopped a wedding in Constanța, and in the case of Bucharest “they allowed an atrocious organization to the underworld”, carried out over several days. We have not explained this sufficiently either, so we now inform the public that we have applied sanctions in both cases for violating current regulations. Thus, among other measures, more than 250 sanctions were applied in Bucharest, the funeral in compliance with legal regulations. The distribution of the 500 packages was also prohibited, thus managing not to generate any coronavirus outbreak in that area.
However, from the point of view of the production of acts of violence by the clans, which are likely to affect public order, this fact requires broader explanations.
Clans did not appear this year. Over time, large-scale operations have been organized to dismantle them, and their top leaders, sometimes even belonging to consecutive generations, have been repeatedly imprisoned (the Duduianu family is in the third generation in prison, some of them convicted the third time ).
The event that generated the current public debate occurred as a result of a spontaneous conflict between several people, some of them proven to have criminal activities or from families known to be involved in criminal activities.
Here, too, bona fide citizens can ask questions like, “Why didn’t you arrest them, did you know them, or needed to know them? There was information from sources and it was known that they were playing in that house.” bearded for a long time; What have you done “
We can respond that these issues are the subject of current verifications and ongoing investigations, which will take time until we provide an evidence-based response, and will be publicly communicated and assumed by those who carry out these verifications.
What we can say now is that this unwanted event highlighted a poor aspect of our current organization:
The departure from our ranks of a large number of professionals, of those who know sophisticated work in the field, people who imposed respect and fear among criminals, can generate syncope in operational moments. We know this and we try to remedy it in an operative way in every crisis situation that arises.
Consequently, today we come to discuss why the Romanian Police Chief took to the streets to solve the problem, precisely because at that time it was the only efficient operational solution, in Romanian, we had no other solution to guarantee the success of the operation. Sad but true. (Specifically, Quaestor Vasilescu was on leave for 5 days, was called urgently and solved the problem in 5 hours, and the Romanian Police Chief was not on his first “field trip” since taking office anyway) . In conclusion, Quaestor Vasilescu was the only one considered to have the necessary experience to coordinate operationally, nor did he hide, he did not do anything illegal, acting according to the “letter of the manual” of police tactics, which every policeman should know. (Also, as you noted, the task force always knew where the cameras were.)
We answer other questions here.
Why haven’t I communicated these items publicly until now? Precisely because operations of this type by the Romanian Police cannot be public until the end of the investigations. Any information that appeared in the public space could have compromised the investigation.
Why didn’t I communicate after the funeral, but only when some pictures appeared? Because the police operation did not end after the funeral.
Why were they at night? Because it was an element of surprise. A time was chosen so that there is no possibility of this information being disseminated quickly to all those who announced their presence and of whom we had information that they will be present at 2:00 p.m.
Why weren’t family members summoned to speak at the police station? Because a tactical handicap would have been created, they could refuse to appear. (These people are usually taken to the police with arrest warrants!)
Does Quaestor Vasilescu have to resign? We believe that the argument put forward by us implicitly offers the answer: the Romanian police chief performed his duty efficiently, solving a complicated problem, according to the written or customary rules of our institution.
We will inform the public of all the final details of this case and promise full transparency. At the same time, we will operationally disclose any type of manipulation dedicated to the purpose of destabilizing the activity of our institution.
Thank you for your attention and understanding!
