In the early morning of April 6, a car crashed into the fence of the Russian embassy in Bucharest, Digi24 TV channel reports.
The car then caught fire and the driver died. Sources close to the investigation told Digi24 that the driver acted deliberately and managed to shout something to the security guard of the diplomatic mission. According to other sources, the driver lost control.
Traffic in the area of the scene was blocked.
According to the sources, it was an intentional gesture. Thus, the driver allegedly went directly to the main access gate and crashed his car into the fence.
The driver was Bogdan Drăghici, the president of the TATA association, who was accused by his ex-wife of molesting his daughter, according to Digi24 sources.
In 2019, he was investigated and prosecuted in connection with this accusation. Yesterday he was sentenced in the first instance to 15 years and four months in prison for sexually assaulting his daughter. He was banned from leaving the country until May 26, 2022.
The gendarme who was on duty allegedly ordered the driver to leave the scene immediately, but he shouted something at the soldier and then set himself on fire.
