“Lord”
Sorin Ovidiu Vantu has been making placements in the underworld.
We
are publishing today the transcription of a tape-recorded conversation
between a close acquaintance of Gigi Boeru’s – Buturuga Margarit – and
Dan Gorzo (nicknamed “the Doctor”) about a money transfer to PDSR, but
also about the Sorin Ovidiu Vantu’s relationships with the underworld.
…
Gorzo
Dan – Mr. Buturuga, could you please tell us about the episode you talked
about earlier relating to the sponsorships PDSR received by occult ways,
through the agency of certain underworld personalities.
Buturuga
Margarit – In 1992, as a friend of Gigi C (known as Gigi Boeru), I had
to go with him from his house to a meeting place where we had to give someone
money for PDSR, approximately $1 million. We met with that person
in the parking lot of a restaurant called “Pescarus” (The Seagull), where
Gigi C. handed an attache’ case with the requested money.
GD
– Do you know who that person was who took the money?
BM
– From what I saw and what Gigi C. told me, it’s Tudor Stanica.
GD
– Who said that Tudor Stanica will give the money to PDSR?
BM
– Gigi C. made clear of the relationship with Tudor Stanica and that he
will give the money to PDSR.
…
GD
– Besides this amount of money from before the elections of ’92, on what
other occasions had Gigi C. handed money?
BM
– Yes, there were indeed other occasions when we went together and once
gave $100,000 to Tudor Stanica, but I had no idea for what reason or deed.
Another time we met with Tudor Stanica in the parking lot of the
“Izvorul Rece” restaurant, but I don’t know the exact amount handed then,
however must have been also around $100,000.
GD
– Do you know what was Tudor Stanica’s occupation at the time?
BM
– He was employed at a bank (Credit Bank ) and he was a Viorel Hrebenciuc’s
man.
GD
– You were present at the conversations between Gigi C. and Viorel Hrebenciuc,
then Secretary of State, is it not true?
BM
– Yes, certainly.
…
GD
– But besides conversations with VH, didn’t Gigi C. have some with other
people?
BM
– I know that he was talking with Senator Paunescu quite often, with the
Capital’s Chief Prosecutor, Barsu, and others.
…
GD
– Are we to understand that Tudor Stanica was a liaison agent?
BM
– Yes, of course
…
GD
- But who spoke with Viorel Hrebenciuc ?
BM
– Tudor Stanica, this I knew from Gigi C. personally, that TS was the liaison
person.
…
BM
– From conversations with Gigi C. [resulted that] money was obtained from
those who recovered owed money from so-called debtors, and a very high-up
person in the State and Police Department helped them in this endeavor.
…
GD
– When Gigi C. took the security from Vantu, who signed the transaction?
BM
– Not Vantu, and the understanding was between Gigi C. and General Iulian
Vlad. [the chief of the Securitate under Ceausescu].
GD
– General Vlad collaborates with Sorin Vantu?
BM
– Otherwise such a warrantee would not have been possible, and the relationship
Vantu-Vlad was real close.
