Sandu Bok, former defender of Petrolula, Dynamo, Sportula, Rapida and Craiova, told in March 2020 in the show “Prietenii lui Ovidiu”, moderated by Ovidiu Ioanitsoaya, an incredible case: how he bought Nicolae’s ship immediately after the Ceausescu revolution.

“After the revolution, I collaborated with a Cypriot who opened a business. Hire ships and sailors for all ship owners in the world. Having learned that there are many sailors here, he came to Romania. I found out through my neighbor who caught him on the plane. He arrived at the Hotel Nord and, seeing the ballerinas and waiters, all for Sandu Bock, said that they were important characters. He asked me to meet.”

“And the next day we drank coffee together. He told me what he was doing and said, “You are the man I need! What monthly salary do you want to receive for the business?”. “2000 dollars!” “No, I’ll give you 5,000!”. We opened an office in Constanta. When I announced the sailors, there was a line all the way to the street. Hundreds of people. Hundreds, hundreds. Then we rented the ships “Mărăști” and “Mărășești”. We paid BMW to give us ships. They were the best. And there was Ceausescu’s ship “Sovata”. No one touched him. I bought it “I said I was traveling by sea from Constanta to Istanbul,” Bock said.
