CAREFULLY! INFORMATION WITH A STRONG EMOTIONAL IMPACT!!!

DIICOT prosecutors have intercepted several phone calls that show the torture of people in the hostels in Ilfov, where a large-scale rescue operation and search took place on Tuesday.

Members of a network under DIICOT’s purview have been stealing food that was supposed to reach the beneficiaries.

“The members of the group by appointment are involved in committing crimes of stealing food products intended for the nutrition of beneficiaries, both from food products purchased with the funds of the centers, and from products brought by relatives of beneficiaries. In addition, they are also involved in stealing clothes and medicine that their families bring to them.

Beneficiaries are kept in inhumane conditions, where they have to wear extra or thicker clothing because the interior is not heated properly in the cold season, in rooms with insufficient lighting, with no furniture apart from the bed it is equipped with. inappropriate mattresses (sponge covered with fabric).

A chronic problem in all three care centers is the contamination of indoor spaces, including bedding and clothing, by bedbugs that feed on blood, repeatedly stinging patients’ skin, creating a state of constant discomfort for patients and likely exacerbating their existing pathologies.” – said the arrest indictment cited by Buletin de Bucharest.

The arrest report is also based on the statements of witnesses who said that the beneficiaries received little and poor quality food, this is shown in a selection made by the Bulletin de Bucharest from the investigation testimony.

Witness:

“[…]On each plate were 28 wilted apples, one for each patient, 4 slices of bread with margarine and couscous, one of which had a piece of pulp in it, and the 5th slice of bread was empty. A kettle with a volume of about 10 liters was also prepared, in which there were 7 tea bags. “Alina” said not to fill the cups, because there won’t be enough for everyone.”

[…]

“He reduced the servings from two slices of bread with ARO margarine to one, two slices of bread with sausage. A total of 28 patients were treated with 4 small jars of sausage, a slice of bread with Parisian sauce, and tea prepared in the same manner as previously described.

[…]

“Around 08:00, the patients were served a morning meal, which consisted of 4 slices of bread: 2 slices with only margarine of the ARO brand, 1 slice with margarine and quince jam, and 4 slices of bread with pate. I also noticed a large kettle, about 10 liters, which contained 5 tea bags. Just like the previous day, I noticed that “Doyna” treated some patients with tea, but not others.”

CO-WORKER: There is soup left, why did he bring them today, the pot is about three-quarters full, I cook some more pasta, add some water and give them soup tonight?

GODEY DANIEL: Yes, yes, yes, yes, well, just don’t throw it away! […]”

A jar of hot pepper in soup and a bucket of dung are carried by beneficiaries

In another recording that got into the prosecutor’s office, one of the employees says that when he made soup for the beneficiaries, he added a whole can of chopped hot pepper, and then he happily told how the victims’ physiological discomfort increased when they went to the toilet:

“Mom, did you hear everyone going to the bathroom, Oh! Oh! Ouch!” (followed by constant laughter on this topic), “Alina’s” response is that not everyone has a tolerance for hot peppers, because there are beneficiaries who have health problems, such as hemorrhoids: “Listen, in them hemorrhoids, it is not so work for everyone! The devil dies when…”

In addition to food, the victims were also housed in inadequate conditions, in rooms that were not even connected to the sewage network. In situations where the septic tank overflowed, the manure was forced to be raked with a bucket, according to conversations between employees.

“COOPER 1: Yes. I heard and saw what was on the ground. a mess

CO-WORKER 2: They didn’t tell you? (unintelligible) carried it in buckets. I think more than 200 buckets. I went last night and looked at the sump there and it went down again. But if you put it back in the car, it will fill up again. And it dawns on you that… it’s over there.

COOPER 1: Yes. And not even 1 floor?

CO-WORKER 2: No. nothing What to do on the 1st floor, wash, what to do there?

COOPER 1: No. Give…that is, if I also make these baths, showers…

CO-WORKER 2: Stop doing anything. I’m stopping today. Until tomorrow morning, because I was looking for a shower and didn’t find it, even though it’s Saturday and Sunday.

CO-WORKER 1: Yeah, okay, don’t worry, you told me.

CO-WORKER 2: The water’s coming out on you there.”

Profiteers, beaten

The staff in the hostels were beaten by the beneficiaries of the centers, according to the arrest report.

“Later, an ambulance was called, and before the ambulance arrived, the patient told me that “Doina” and “Cornelia” took her downstairs, where they beat her. I asked her where she was hit and she said “a punch in the face” and also showed me parts of her body. I asked her what the EMS said and she told me that the EMS stopped at the first right turn and took her picture. The patient noted that she was beaten by “Doyna” in other cases as well.”

[…]

CO-WORKER (aggressively addresses the beneficiary): Bye! You don’t comment anymore! Get out of here, because you are not doing what you want to do. You know? (unintelligible) bag.

BENEFICIARY 2: (unintelligible)

ASSOCIATE (also addressing the beneficiary): Well, don’t comment any further,

BENEFICIARY 2: I’m going to sue you!

CO-WORKER: You fool, I’ll beat the hell out of you.

CO-WORKER (to beneficiary): Sue me, Mom.

BENEFICIARY 2: And now I give you.

“I squeezed it and it came out like a worm”

[…]

“NURSE: I found Mrs. XXX with a red hand, it was burning, with a boil, and inside I squeezed it, and it came out like a worm, like a fly, I hope there was no sign of it. We took some more convincing photos…

MANAGER: Don’t go in, don’t go in those skins!

HELP:[…] when I started to squeeze out, the pus also went away, it came out, I took it off!

MANAGER: Send pictures so I can see them, but I don’t think they’re skin (bugs)!

NURSE: It seems that a fly has died on her hand or, I beg you, she is itching, did you see that her hand is black, the part that she does not move it, but the other one she moves!

MANAGER: Yes…

NURSE: And I think it rubbed there, it’s bad that the hand is very red, it burns, now I put compresses on it and I squeezed out the … that insect that was, it came out a little, but it came out, no, I don’t know, I think it was a fly, God knows. So, I called them too, seriously, I freaked out a bit. I will continue to compress him, I don’t think he will necessarily need antibiotics, he has no fever, no tension, nothing. She says that it has been like this for several days, but she if this hand does not feel at all, she does not understand how it is, she saw that she scratched, that she scratched, so it is clear that she scratched herself, she also said that she scratched, stung, but she doesn’t know how she stung, what and how, in what way (unintelligible).”

A preventive measure was chosen for the managers of the network

DIICOT announced on Wednesday morning that 24 people had been arrested and two had been taken into judicial custody after raids at centers for vulnerable people.

Four defendants were pre-arrested for 30 days: Stefan Godey, the administrator of one of the homes for the elderly, his brother Dan Godey, the center’s coordinator, Andriy Rezvan Shika, the head of the Department of Social Assistance and Child Protection in Ilfov. and Ovidiu Dumitra, a former Ilfov police officer, husband of Cristina Dumitra, who ran the nursing home business, writes Libertatea.

Kristina Dumitra is seven months pregnant under judicial supervision.

During Tuesday, 31 searches were carried out in Bucharest and the counties of Ilfov, Ialomica, Calarasi, Constanța, Olt and Arges in a case in which dozens of people are accused of forming two organized crime groups that preyed on unknown beneficiaries from three hostels in Voluntara and Afumata.
