Foreigner declared as undesirable for 10 years

28 March 2019

At SRI's suggestion, the Bucharest Court of Appeal has ruled on declaring the foreign national A.V. as an undesirable person for a period of 10 years for acts which, in accordance with the provisions of article 3, letter i and l of Law no. 51/1991, are considered threats to national security.

A.V. has become a person of interest for SRI in 2017, following his involvement in activities in favor of a terrorist organization. During his stay in Romania, he has exhibited a behavior and attitude specific to radicalized individuals who adhered to the cause of the terrorist entity. He has also constantly tried to boost the activity of the same terrorist organization.

SRI's priority mission is to prevent violent acts of terror from being carried out against communities in Romania. To this end, SRI cooperates with agencies from the National System for Preventing and Countering Terrorism, as well as foreign partners.
