The English language interpreter, Ms. MD, who submits the copy of the authorization, also answered
no. 3025/14.04.2000 on file.
The summoning procedure is legally fulfilled.
The report of the case was made by the court clerk, after which, at the
request of the defense, the Collegiate Panel of Judges of Rights and Freedoms allows the elected
defenders to contact the appellants-accused, who are in preventive detention, in order to ensure the right to
defense .
The collegial panel of judges of rights and liberties grants the floor on the preliminary requests.

The chosen defender of the appellant - the defendant RAL, having the floor, requests the approval of
the circumstantial documentary evidence, namely the posts of the defendant on her Instagram profile which
show her character and a medical certificate confirming the death of the defendant's grandfather who raised
her and took care of her. her since she was little, the death being last night and he mentions that he has now
notified her.
Also, to help the court and resolve with celeriT. case, he extracted the statements of two injured persons
from the criminal investigation file that he is making available to the court.
Present the documents to the representative of the Public Ministry.
The chosen defender of the defendants T. III EA, TT, and NGM, lawyer ECV, having the floor, requests
approval and administration of evidence with documents. Thus, it shows that there was talk about a chronic
illness of the defendant T. III EA and in this sense he wants to submit relevant medical documents regarding
the existence of a medical condition and a medical letter issued by doctors. On the other hand, having the
statements of the injured parties that the prosecution used at the time of formulating the proposal for
preventive arrest, it submits notarized statements given by the security agents, contractual staff of the
beneficiaries T. at the location in ..... from which it follows that it was the type of contractual relationship, if
the security agents really stood with their guns in sight, if they really had or did not have the obligation to
legitimize the people who
Machine Translated by Google

were entering or leaving the house and if they had instructions from the T. brothers not to let the alleged
injured persons leave the house. He also submits two notarized statements recently given by two of the
witnesses in this present file. by the Public Ministry as victims and which were indeed discussed in
substance, it is about PIV and AB. It also submits images taken from a social media site of the UA
injured person from the reference period when she was in Romania, which shows that she was free,
went out in the city and was free to post any type of information on the social networks.

At the same time, he submits the criminal record of Mr. TT and the criminal record of Mr. TA, from which
it follows that they do not appear in the criminal record with any criminal act, as the prosecution wrongly
claims. He also submits a press article by a public figure in a former relationship with Mr. TT, which
shows his moral profile and that he has never assaulted. It shows that a public person from the territory
of Bulgaria and another person sent an email to the defense, from which their behavior in friendships
with women is shown, as the contested conclusion shows an absolutely reprehensible attitude of the T.
brothers towards the female sex and , also submits a T8 media report showing the fact that since
29.12.2022, the reference period is 29.12.2022 – 05.01.2023 regarding visibleT.a or public opinion
regarding the state of arrest of the defendants T. from which it can be seen that today, 80% of public
opinion believes in their innocence, unlike on 30.12.2022 when public opinion was 11% positive towards
the criminal investigation bodies and 89% negative towards the T. brothers and on of 05.01.2023, 70%
of public opinion posts and opines in favor of the T. brothers and 30% against them. It takes into
account the fact that in the contested sentence there is talk about concrete social danger, public
opprobrium, opprobrium regarding the fact that letting the defendants go freeT. would somehow affect
the image of justice or the methods of its execution.

Present these documents to the Public Ministry.


The chosen defender of the defendants T. III EA, TT, and NGM, lawyer GCI, having the
final say, regarding the admissibility of the documentary evidence requested by the defense, referring
in particular to the extrajudicial notarial statements made by the persons about whom already spoken,
requests to take into account the context in which these statements took place, noting that they
appeared as a result of an express desire of the respective persons who, seeing the extraordinary
media coverage of this case, felt the need to express their point point of view regarding the respective
matters, not being an attempt by the defense to obtain such documents. It should also be emphasized
that the collective feeling that these people felt when they came up with the respective statements was
extremely unfair. which they felt was produced in this case.

Precisely in order to be proactive from the perspective of how to formulate a defense under the
conditions of criminal proceedings, he submitted a request in defense of the request for evidence before
the Public Ministry on 05.01.2023, which included these aspects, in the sense of the rehearing to the
people he talked about or the hearing of the security guards he indicated as such in the request for
evidence, some of them already posting their point of view in the statements he talked about, a request
that, unfortunately, did not receive any echo from the Public Ministry.

The representative of the Public Ministry, having the floor after having previously studied the
documents, shows that he agrees with the requested documents.
The collegial panel of judges of rights and liberties, after deliberation, approves the
evidence with the documents submitted today to the case file for the appellants - defendants T. III EA,
TT and RAL, following that these documents will be assessed at the time of deliberation.

When questioning the panel of judges of rights and liberties regarding other requests, the
chosen defender of the defendants T. III EA and TT, lawyer GCI, requests the approval of the hearing
of the defendants T. III EA and TT, noting that they wish to formulate these statements for that, from
the moment of the arrest and the moment of the trial of the present appeal, they finally succeeded in
obtaining the decision of the Bucharest Court by which the measure of preventive detention was taken,
tR.s the respective decision and communicated it to the defendants and they, seeing the content of the
respective conclusion, as well as the transcript of some of the conversations
Machine Translated by Google

purT. on WhatsApp between these defendants and some of the injured parties detained in this case,
they are now able to express, knowingly, certain points of view regarding the respective matters. It shows
that until this moment, they did not have access to such documents, which is why they request the
approval of their hearing.
The chosen defender of the appellants – defendants RAL and NGM, having the floor,
also requests the approval of the hearing and the defendants RAL and NGM.
The collegial panel of judges of rights and liberties sees the fact that it is the right of the
appellants to give statements at any time during the criminal process and grants the floor to the
Representative of the Public Ministry regarding the request made by the defense.
The representative of the Public Ministry, having the floor, shows that he is of the same opinion,
reason for which he shows that he agrees with the hearing of the accused appellants.
When questioned by the panel of judges on rights and liberties, the chosen defender of the
defendants T. III EA, TT and NGM, lawyer ECV, shows that, from the T.a ways in which the defendants
understood to express this right, he would like to give statements in front of the court before the debates,
following that they express their point of view and in the last word, with the request that the defendant TT
be heard first.
The collegial board of judges of rights and liberties , pursuant to art. 204 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure in relation to art. 225 paragraph 7 of the Criminal Procedure Code, proceeds to the
hearing of the defendants TT, T. III EA, NGM and RAL, their statements being recorded, read, signed
and attached to the case file.
Upon questioning the collegial panel of rights and freedoms judges,
the participants in the process see the fact that they have no more requests to make.
Next, with no more requests to be made, exceptions to be invoked and evidence to be
administered, the collegial panel of judges of rights and liberties finds the case in a state of trial
and grants the floor on the basis of the objections formulated.
The chosen defender of the appellants-defendants T. III EA and TT, lawyer GCI, having the
floor, requests the admission of the appeals formulated by the defendants, the annulment of the
conclusion of the Bucharest Court and the rejection of the proposal for preventive arrest formulated by
the Directorate for the Investigation of Criminal OffensesT. Organized and Terrorism, considering the
present considerations. orally, but also those that will be submitted to the case file, formulated in writing.
In the alternative, if it is assessed that for the proper conduct of the criminal investigation it is necessary
to take a preventive measure, it requests that the preventive measure of judicial control be taken into
account, with priority, considering that it is sufficient to ensure the purpose of the preventive measures,
as it is regulated by criminal procedural legislation.
In the development of the legal conditions in which a court can arrive at taking a preventive
measure, the legislator referred, first of all, to the existence of some evidence from which it can be
concluded that a criminal act was committed. In order to have the quality of evidence, any element of a
factual nature must first of all be administered, in the general conditions for the administration of an
evidence, respectively in compliance with the principles of legality and loyalty of the administration of
evidence, in order not to unbalance, in an impermissible way, the procedural balance which must always
exist between prosecution and defense. However, from the manner in which the criminal prosecution in
this case has been carried out up to the present moment, the principle of loyalty in the administration of
evidence has been totally violated by the prosecution. Given the special importance of the notion of
evidence and legality. of the administration of the respective evidence, believes that some clarifications
related to this matter are required. In this sense, it is requested to note that, given that, from 11.04.2022,
it was known that there were certain complaints regarding the activities of the two defendants, that their
homes were searched and they were - have picked up certain assets, the continuation of the criminal
prosecution in person against them is not ordered until after more than 9 months, under the conditions in
which the judicial practice of the European Court in Strasbourg, but also the practice of the national
courts, constantly enshrine mandatory T.a to the criminal investigation body that, immediately after the
determination or identification of the person who could be the subject of an investigation, to order the
continuation of the criminal investigation in person against him, with the notification of the quality, in order
to be able to exercise, in the manner asset, procedural rights. Regarding this aspect, it requests to be
noted that, in an unauthorized manner, the criminal investigation body proceeded on 14.04.2022 to
Machine Translated by Google

the anticipated hearing of two of the injured persons, in the conditions in which the defendants were
not informed about the respective matters, putting them in the position of never having the possibility
to ask questions to the respective persons. The respective statement is presented to the judge of
rights and freedoms, although the defendants were deprived of the possibility to get involved in the
respective hearing from the perspective of formulating questions, a statement which, according to
the prosecution, enjoys a presumption of absolute truth. At no time was the criminal investigation
body concerned with ensuring, even formally, a minimum of legal assistance or compliance with
legal procedures in such a situation, proceeding in the manner previously mentioned, respectively,
the continuation of the criminal investigation in person very late, compared to the existing elements
in the case file.
Moreover, it is requested to note the fact that even in the report with the proposal for
preventive arrest, there is talk about the existence, in the case file, of two psychiatric forensic expert
reports, but volume III of the criminal investigation file begins with an extrajudicial expert report
which, from the perspective of the defense, has a symbolic to non-existent evidentiary value. If it
really was a forensic expert report, it could not be administered during the criminal investigation
phase in rem. This is an additional argument for which the continuation of the criminal investigation
in personam should have been ordered much earlier than it actually was. On the other hand, he
believes that there is talk of a judicial expert report in the case in order to create a false impression,
in front of the court, that there is evidence obtained under legal conditions. which would indeed have
a certain difficulty, although the reality is completely different.

Also from the perspective of the loyalty of the administration of the means of evidence, it
shows that several conversations made through the WhatsApp application made available by the
alleged injured persons were submitted to the case file, conversations about which there is no
certainty of authenticity.. It can be seen very easily from the ways in which they were collated in the
report with the proposal for preventive arrest, that they are not in a logical sequence, that there are
missing passages that might have been relevant from the defense perspective, for the correct and
exact understanding of what was discussed between the respective persons. He considers that it is
not possible to arrive at the substantiation of a solution of taking the preventive arrest measure of
such gravity. based on evidence on which a huge amount of uncertainty hangs. This disloyal
approach. of the accusation finds its purpose in the conclusion challenged by the present judicial
action. Thus, on tab no. 49 of the contested conclusion, a whole series of communications and
messages between AT and P. I is transposed, but it can be observed that the question is formulated
at one time, and the answer, in some situations, appears after 3 weeks, including the question of
February 19 and answer from March 5, question from March 9 and answer from April 10. He
considers that it is totally unjustified and totally illegal to collate the respective conversations in such
a way, putting behind a question from March, an answer from April. He considers that, through this
procedure, the judge of rights and liberties on the merits was obviously induced into
error.
For the previously stated reasons, he requests to look with great caution at the methods of
administering the evidence in the criminal investigation phase, which he considers disloyal, a matter
that led to the misleading of the trial court as well.
Regarding the material of the charges against the defendants, speaking of the crime of
human trafficking, the prosecutor considers, as well as the modalities. of committing this crime, from
the multiple offered by the incrimination norm, first of all recruiting the respective persons by
misleading, by exercising acts of mental and physical violence, harboring and transporting the
respective persons for the purpose of sexual exploitation, forcing them to carry out pornographic
materials and being subjected to forced labor. Having drawn these coordinates, the prosecution
should have brought evidentiary elements to demonstrate each of the normative variants or each of
the hypotheses considered as modalities. of committing the crime. First of all, regarding the
compulsion to pornographic manifestations, he shows that, studying
the file, he did not notice any pornographic manifestation, being exclusively the statements
of the injured persons, without any film, screen captures or captures from the file
Machine Translated by Google

social networks, which demonstrate the existence of a pornographic manifestation. In the last
instance, he believes that there should have been proof of such a manifestation so that, in the end,
the magistrate in charge of analyzing the respective matters could assess whether, indeed, it is a
manifestation of a pornographic nature, considering that it is about such an abstract notion that for
two people, the same notion can have different content.

Regarding the recruitment of the injured persons, he believes that there is no factual element
from which to derive the idea that those persons were recruited. This notion of recruitment, in the
opinion of the defense, involves much more than simple communication between certain people on a
social network. However, each time, in the case of all the persons mentioned, the prosecution itself
admits that there were free discussions between the respective persons, that at least twice, the
initiative in starting the discussions belongs to the persons supposed to be injured by committing the
acts.
As for the exercise of acts of physical violence or mental coercion, not only is there no
element of this nature, there is no medico-legal certificate or other medical documents, being simply
statements of injured persons that have never been proven . Regarding the transportation of injured
persons,
it is requested to note that absolutely all persons came on their own initiative, by their own
means or received money and bought their own plane ticket. Therefore, the most that can be
detained is self-transportation, which is not considered by the criminalization norm.

Regarding the sheltering of the injured persons, it shows that this hypothesis considered by
the prosecution is not proven, in any way, in this case, as long as the persons in question lived in a
building from which they had freedom. full to act in any modaliT..
He considers that no means of proof can be extracted from which it can be concluded that there was
a restriction of free movement. Moreover, the prosecution does not even consider deprivation of
liberty as a possible concurrent crime.
The legal norm considered by the prosecution refers to a purpose for which it would be
exercised. the respective activities - with a view to sexual exploitation. As far as this sexual exploitation
is concerned, first of all, in order to be able to hold the respective accusation against these defendants,
the prosecution would have had to prove when they, personally, would have done acts of a nature to
characterize the exploitation of the injured persons. By the fact that they live at a distance of 2 km
and that they meet once or twice in certain time intervals, it is difficult to imagine that these matters
can characterize the content of the exploitation option.
Regarding the assumption of submission to the execution of a job, it shows that, according to
the provisions of art. 4 para. 2 of the Labor Code, the term forced labor denotes any work or service
imposed on a person, under threat or for which the person has not expressed his consent. It can be
easily observed, even from the depositions of the alleged injured persons, that there are no elements
of threat and there are no elements from which could result a coercion or the absence of consent for
the performance of the respective activities, which were strictly in favor of their own person, and not
in favor of the defendants . Next, regarding the statements of the four
injured persons, it shows that, by the very virulence of the attack they unleashed against the
two defendants, following a careful analysis, it can be concluded that the claims made by the
representatives of the prosecutor's office through the proposal of preventive detention. Thus, from
the testimony of the UA injured person, it follows that other people with whom she interacted proposed
to her to make video recordings to post on TikTok. Moreover, the first post on TikTok of this person is
from 10.03.2022, given that during that period the defendant T.

A. was not in the country. Regarding the manner in which the said post was reached, it requests to
be taken into account that the injured person stated that "B suggested that I go live with her on
TikTok, suggested that I do so ". Therefore, none of these so-called activities of persuasion were
carried out by any of the two defendants. It also shows that this statement is repeated by the same
injured person who says "although initially I never agreed to take pictures or be posT. on OnlyFans, I
finally gave up
Machine Translated by Google

convinced by B". Thus, this statement also excludes any involvement on the part of the two
defendants in making the alleged posts on the TikTok network.
With regard to the accusation of rape held in relation to this injured person, he states that
from the manner in which the injured person presents the course of the accusation, it can be seen
that even the trial court does not consider the proposal of preventive arrest justified in relation to
this crime, recommending criminal investigation bodies to continue the investigations, it being
implausible that a person could be raped in the .....t Hotel - one of the most guarded and well-known
places in Bucharest, especially in the conditions where the injured person together with other people
have waited for the defendant's arrival for more than two hours. Also from the perspective of the
relationship between the two persons, with regard to the second accusation of rape held against
the accused TA, it shows that this too is not based on anything other than the simple statement of
the injured person that there was the respective action, which would was accompanied by certain
acts of violence, which the injured person herself states could be part of a sexual game. If the
injured person himself raises such questions about the manner in which the respective report was
carried out, if this action had really existed, there are no evidentiary elements from which it can be
concluded that the respective crime was actually committed. In order to have an even more accurate
picture of the GR of involvement or how traumatic this experience was for the injured person, UA
shows the court a passage from her statement, in the sense that at a certain moment "we, the girls,
have offered to A., a sexual act". It is requested to note that the injured person does not remember
when the matter in question took place, from which it can be easily deduced that that moment did
not have a particular impact. Referring to this passage from the injured person's statement leads to
the creation of an accurate picture of how involved that person was and of the alleged impact that
the defendant's actions had on him. It is impossible for the defense to imagine how, at the moment
when harm happens to you, of whatever nature it may be, it is so easy for you to get over it and not
be able to provide any concrete data about it.

From the present evidence. at this term, it follows that during the period in which this person
said that he was forced, that he was in an impossible situation. to express his consent freely, this
had an activity. intense on Instagram. He states that he managed to take pictures from her Instagram
profile, in which she poses in a casual manner, incompatible with retaining any trace of coercion on
her.
Regarding the injured person GE A, he states that this person was active on OnlyFans
since he lived in the USA, as it appears from the transcript of the conversations on WhatsApp, if
indeed they are real or in accordance with the realT.. It is discussed in those conversations about
the circumstance that the injured person wants a new account, on which to post his activities which,
according to the Public Ministry, were pornographic activities.
If this activity was continued or not after the moment 04.05.2022, when this person arrived in the
country, it is difficult to find out, considering that the file lacks any evidence that this person really
posted certain materials on the respective network and, moreover much, that this matter would
have occurred at the insistence of one of the two defendants.
Also, from the same deposition of the injured person, the following statement results: "I
don't realize if during this time, (respectively the 6 days he stayed in Romania), I was deprived of
my liberty. because T. was telling me that I can leave whenever I want". Thus, he does not believe
that the measure of preventive arrest can be ordered for certain manifestations against which even
the injured person cannot characterize them as being of a nature to represent any limitation of his
free movement and it seems to him totally devoid of any legal support. The defense shows that it
paid a lot of attention to this deposition because, the very key to the prosecution represents of these
depositions offer an extraordinary number of arguments of innocence in favor of the defendants and
especially the defendant TT.
Moreover, regarding the threat to which this person would have been subjected, it shows
that this threat consists in the fact that: "they will publish my real name, the names of my parents,
the phone number I use". This so-called threat does not fulfill the most primitive form of apprehension
of the crime of threat or of the characterization of an act of threat. In this context, publishing a
person's real name or phone number
Machine Translated by Google

of it is not an illegal fact with which the injured person can be threatened. This person's perception
of the notion of threat is totally wrong, conditions in which the whole statement must be seen as
a huge exaggeration.
It also shows that the injured person GE A uses, in his deposition, to characterize the
defendant TT, the notion of a loverboy. This issue together with the description of a new form of
human trafficking reflects either an impermissible involvement of the criminal prosecution body
that recorded the respective statements, or an above average intelligence of this person, who
has the representation of the notion of human trafficking and cE of "loverboy", from a legal point
of view and uses the respective notions appropriately, an aspect incompatible with retaining a
constraint or pressure on the respective person, likely to affect, in any way, their freedom of
action and decision . As far as this injured person is concerned, it
shows that at the time of the search on 11.04.2022, as it appears from the content of the
search report, there was no question of a forced entry into the respective building, an aspect that
proves, still once, that these people had a liberT. full of movement and action.

Regarding the statement of the injured person AS A., it is requested to note that the
alleged exploitation of this person for the benefit of the two defendants, asserted only by her, is
proven by the fact that 50% of the money obtained was transferred to the account of co-defendant
G.. But , since she herself transfers the said amount of money, it is obvious that someone could
not have authoriT. on how this person manages his assets or money. The reality of the
discussions and transfers between the respective persons is not known, but this simple statement
is sufficient, without further analysis of the accounts, since the injured person is the one who
made the transfers, willingly. There is no argument to show that this injured person had no control
over the said money. Particularly relevant in the testimony of this injured person is her account of
an event on 28.10.2021, during which another injured person, PCD, requested the support of the
police bodies, by calling 112, because she had been subjected acts of violence. The account of
the injured person AS, regarding the respective event, is extraordinarily negative. This incident
took place, according to the statement, before the injured person AS moved into that house, and
thus it is not understood what would be the reason why a person who witnesses an event that he
presents in such a way, after that event , to move into that house.

At the same time, it shows that this injured person, AS A., offers new values to the notion
of human trafficking, quoting from her statement: "somehow I felt constrained by T. not to give
up", but without elaborating what it means " somehow". This word is so relative, so volatile, like
its content, that it is incompatible with the notion of evidence and elements of certainty to support
that, indeed, this person was trafficked. This person's full freedom of action is also demonstrated
by the content of his deposition, given before the criminal investigation body, in the sense in
which he reports that he traveled to the city, that he went shopping, that he had an absolutely
natural social life, of a nature to exclude any element that could characterize a coercion or an
impairment of the freedom of will of the person in question. Regarding the
statement of the injured person, PC requests that it be observed that the event of
28.10.2021 is not presented in her deposition. Moreover, although there was this incident, which
ended with the intervention of the police, he does not understand why this injured person has not
said since then that he is being trafficked and subjected, against his will, to doing certain activities.
He considers that there is no logic in the conduct of the detained activities. In the continuation,
he states that from the content of the conversations on WhatsApp, if they are indeed real, it
appears that the injured person agreed to post materials on OnlyFans at the suggestion of
Yasmina, and in a discussion with co-defendant NG, the injured person expressly states: "Thank
you from the bottom of my heart, I won't disappoint you, I promise! Wow, I'm crying with
happiness!". These matters are incompatible with the notion of a person trafficked or subjected
to certain activities against his will.
Returning to the statement given by GE, he reproduces the following passage: "T. he told
me to text him with my final answer because when he had asked me in person I had told him that
Machine Translated by Google

I do not know". It is about a discussion between the two in which she demanded the sum of 50,000
euros in order to send the defendant T. nude photos of her, and from her testimony it follows that, if
at first she sat down to think about the proposal made, the only condition put, in the end, was to
have his face blurred. Thus, this kind of manifestation was absolutely accepted by the person in
question who, in exchange for a sum of money, very easily consented to the production of such
material, which he had no problem making available to the defendant.
Concluding, he appreciates that the analysis of the concrete content of the depositions of
the injured persons, however likely it may seem to create a feeling of public opprobrium or a negative
emotion towards the defendants, the concrete content of these statements lead to the idea that the
essential constituent elements for the existence of the crime of human trafficking.
At the defense's request, the collegial panel of rights and liberties judges allows the defense
to hand each of the defendants a sealed bottle of water.
The chosen defender of the defendants T. III EA and TT, lawyer ECV, having the floor,
since his colleague spoke about the issues of theory and the meeting of the constitutive elements
of the crimes for which the defendants are targeted, shows that it will not be repeated, but
appreciates that it is essential that from all this reference, return to the evidentiary elements in the
file, the situation of each girl, which is of the nature of creating confusion, considering that the
criminal investigation file has 17 volumes and the defense was made available to the criminal
investigation material only yesterday at at 15:00 and a team of seven people stayed to study them
because, following the issuance of the continuous preventive arrest warrant, both the defendants
and the defense wondered what exactly was in the file that was the basis for taking this measure ,
since until yesterday there was no criminal prosecution material to support the charges against the
defendants. Today, the defense is forced to state that, indeed, there is no evidence against the
defendants, the judge of rights and liberties of the Bucharest Court did not have the grounds to form
his reasonable opinion that the acts held against the defendants had been committed and believes
that he is the best able to provide the homogeneous picture of this file, considering that he has been
a lawyer in the file since April 11, 2022.
Thus, it shows that on April 11, 2022, the named EG, in discussions with her mother and
her boyfriend, and not how, totally wrongly, the prosecutor's office is trying to accredit in order to
form an image of her morals. complete, her boyfriend to whom she said "honey" and that she misses
him, they had a conversation on a private chat group in which she confessed to them that she would
like to leave Romania, confessed to them the fact that he changed his plane ticket and that he lied
to her that he would be in England and that, in fact, he would be in Romania, that the country is
very beautiful, that things would not be so bad in relation to the state of armed conflict, only that the
T. brothers do not have the behavior and are not what was expected. Next, it shows that the said E.
G. was very relaxed and relaxed in this conversation. At that moment, the mother and her boyfriend
went into a state of terrible panic and induced her to think that she was in imminent danger and
advised her to contact the Embassy or the police. She stated several times that no one monitors
their phones, that she is with another friend from the Republic of Moldova, named A., and that it is
good that she came to help her, as well as that she does not know what it happens there, but he
doesn't like it much. At the time when the authorities in England notified by the beloved EG informed
the authorities in Romania, there was a terrible argument between the said EG and his mother in
which she reproached him with the following: Go to hell. Because " of you I am in this situation, I was
going very quietly to England, now I have to sit and give an account to the authorities, now you have
put me in danger, I just want to go back to England."
That being the case, he sees that this is how this big file started, namely with a phone call
from the American Embassy given to the authorities in Romania and because the named person is
an American citizen supposed to be seized on Romanian territory, a large house search was
ordered at the brothers' home T., on which occasion he participated in caliT. of a lawyer to ensure
the legality of search documents.
That night, the named EG, the named UA and all the persons present at the residence of
the T. brothers were questioned on the occasion of the entry of the law enforcement forces into the
building. At that time, the defense went home together with the T. brothers in caliT. of witnesses,
during the search, mobile assets with extraordinarily high values, i.e. sums of money, laptops and various
Machine Translated by Google

devices. Since that moment, seeing the suspicion of the crime of rape, because the criminal
prosecution in rem had been started for this crime and for the seizure of some people, as well as
the aspects submitted by the prosecutor, the defendants notified the Prosecutor's Office attached
to the Buftea Court with the resolution of two complaints criminal charges filed against the said UA
and GE for misleading the judicial bodies and insisted to the public prosecutor's office that any
documentation be made available to them or to proceed with computer searches for the release of
the witnesses' property or that they will be available with any other information for the fair settlement
of this case.
Since April, no activity has been carried out, thus, in December, seeing that they still have
the quality of witnesses, that an indescribable mediatized event took place in April with devastating
consequences for the persons of the defendants, since the daughter of the defendant TT was
refused to enroll in the American school on the grounds that the press does not match the profile of
the school as a student, because their bank accounts were blocked, because they were created an
absolutely ugly image worldwide, the defense he kept insisting with addresses and with returns to
the Department of Investigation of Criminal OffensesT. Organized and Terrorism for the fair
settlement of the case, in which sense it also submitted a memorandum on December 13, through
which it showed the damage caused to them for caliT. of witnesses for about 8 months, with the
assets seized and the image ruined.
On December 29, the same bodies, in the same house and against the same persons,
carried out a new computer search where they picked up part of the same goods seized in April
and handed over during some computer searches, as well as watches worth of millions of euros,
the same bodies seized 11 cars and then four more cars, after the defendants were in custody,
cars that were in a rented garage to stay during the winter, pressure was put on the amounts de
milI.e, when in the criminal investigation file there were only two statements of the named C and A..
In this sense, it is seen that the named C and A. are persons whom the defendants have known for
more than 2 years , people who, throughout this period, had the possibility to formulate countless
criminal complaints against them, or at least on April 11, 2022, when they had the possibility, when
the event was so publicized, to appear at the prosecutor's office and give statements by which to
confirm the commission of acts provided for and punished by the criminal law and to acquire the
status of injured persons in the case. However, they waited for the months of October and November
to pass so that, being called by the criminal investigation body, they would give statements and on
this occasion it could be observed that, in fact, they have the quality of injured persons. Going over
this aspect, it shows that a lot of people from the T. brothers' entourage were called throughout the
summer in an attempt to obtain unfavorable evidence against them in order to form a criminal
investigation file that could be sent to court, which what didn't happen.

It also considers that the defense insisted on formulating requests by which it requested a
just resolution of the case and the closure of the file, because they were aware of the fact that they
had not been charged with any crime, in order to later obtain these two statements, the occasion
for which would have been born, on December 29, 2022, the opportunity to be made aware of the
suspect quality, and later the defendant quality in five minutes, after 12 hours of searches and to
be put in a position to give statements on 17 volumes of criminal investigation material, which they
had never seen because they had witness status.
That being the case, he appreciates that it is necessary to clarify the moment when this
opportunity was born, because the defense will refer to the conclusion pronounced by the judge of
rights and freedoms of 12.30.2022, which he understood to attack on illegal reasonsT. and
unfounded and in which it was held, on the one hand, that the concrete social danger for public
order exists, is current and that letting the defendants go free would represent a danger in this
sense.
At the same time, he appreciates that it is necessary to clarify whether the prosecution
presented any new evidence or any reprehensible act against the defendants starting from
11.04.2022 and up to 29.12.2022, the defense claiming that it did not and does not know what
exactly stopped the criminal investigation body on 11.04.2022 to change their status from witness
to suspect and later to defendant that evening, considering that they had the same two statements, respective
Machine Translated by Google

the statement of the named UA and the statement of the named EG, the search was carried out recently, being more
opportune at that time, because it would have been justified.
With regard to the evidence that formed the reasonable suspicion retained by the judge of rights and
freedoms, it shows that the DVR containing the footage captured by the surveillance cameras of the house of the T.
brothers from April 11, 2022 was picked up and even at this moment the IT search is completed, although the DVR
was returned since the summer. In this sense, it shows that from these recordings it follows that the girls entered and
left the house when they wanted, accompanied or unaccompanied, that the guard did not carry a weapon and that the
girls were not intimidated or threatened with weapons, that the security personnel did not have as their objective the
protection to any person or to prevent any person from entering or leaving, but only the real estate objective. That
being the case, it is necessary to find out why these pieces of evidence are not in the case file and, in addition to Mr.
GCI lawyer, he appreciates that from this point of view the prosecution is at least unfaithful.

Both the defendant TT and the defendant TA, on April 11, 2022, continuously requested the prosecutor to
watch the DVR as soon as possible that they will be immediately allowed to go home, because they will consT. that
no one was seized, and since it was night, the prosecutor, in good faith, informed them that he had no way, but that
he would administer this evidence as well. It further shows that the defense addressed the Directorate of Investigation
of Criminal OffensesT. Organized and Terrorism to administer, above all, this evidence that was likely to shed light on
the charge from that period of seizing people, later transformed into the crime of human trafficking.

At the same time, it requests the judge of rights and freedoms within the Court to consider the notion of
possibly immoral things in a society. increasingly decadent and, in caliT. by legal professionals, on issues related to
illegality, namely where immorality ends from a social point of view and where illegality begins, for which today the
court was called to check whether it plans reasonable suspicion on the commission of certain acts and punished by
the criminal law from the point of view of legality.

Moreover, it requests to analyze the distinction between character and person, a matter which the judge of
the fund rejected ab initio stating that everything posted by the defendants on social networks accuses them motivated
by the fact that they are free of opinion and they are guilty of the crime of opinions.

It also requests to take into account the notion of capacity restricted by exercise or lack of capacity. of
exercise and full exercise capacity, because, on this occasion, he refers to the fact that the trial court, in an absolutely
illegal and impermissible manner, arrogated to itself the right to remove from the case file or to remove the meaning
the statements of the named P. Isi AB showing that, although these two statements are favorable to the defendants,
they will not be considered by the Court motivated by the fact that they are still under the influence or power of the
defendants.
Or, as long as there is no court decision banning these persons regarding their exercise capacity or as long as there
is no medical document expressing a mental state affected by any possible illness, the court must corroborate the
statements given by people who enjoy capaT. full exercise with all the evidence and to analyze to what extent it can
verify or corroborate it, but it cannot reject a statement ab initio motivated by the fact that the people who gave the
statements could be influenced by the defendants, without there being any evidence In this regard. It shows that she
is in an absurd situation in the sense that the criminal investigation body would tell a person that she was raped and
she would deny it, but she is passed off as a victim because the criminal investigation body said so.

It also shows that it was held that the defendant TT had a connection with the said EG and two other injured
persons and after 8 months, they realized that they may have been injured persons and the crime of human trafficking
against the said EG was also held who stayed in Romania for 6 days, which is why he believes that it is necessary to
clarify when the crime of human trafficking began and when this crime was consummated.

In addition, it requests the judge of rights and freedoms within the Court to also take into account the
conversation carried out through the WhatsApp application between the defendant TT and EG submitted to the
substantive file of the case, from which it can be very clearly observed that the loverboy method is not supported ,
because the defendant TT was very distant and very cold and very indifferent,
Machine Translated by Google

and she sent him hearts, icons and signs of affection, told him that she wanted to leave America
because it is a decadent country and where the principles are no longer respected. and wants to
travel, see the world, at which point the defendant simply asked her: "Are you sure you want to come
to Europe?", and she answered: "yes, I'm single". Next, it shows that the defendant sends him a
PrintScreen with his Revolut card to purchase a ticket, and the application will ask him if he understands
or not to confirm the transaction and it will come to Romania. Against this circumstance, he appreciates
that it is necessary to clarify whether the loverboy method can be supported.

Continuing, it shows that the injured person EG stated that, on the occasion of December
2021, when she met the defendant TT for the first time in the territory of the United States of America,
they lived together for a week and had sexual relations and that she was allegedly strangled by him,
but that the next day she did not remember whether she requested it or not, and when she came to
Romania she forgot that she was strangled and had sexual relations again in Romania with the
defendant TT, occasion with which she then remembered that, in fact, she was also strangled in
America. That being the case, it is necessary to clarify who and under the influence of what exactly is
in the file, if the named P. I and AB are under the influence of the defendants, the other two girls under
the influence of what exactly they are. In order to confirm the defence's claims, they request to check
volume 4, page 10 of the criminal investigation file, where the defendant TT tells "Dear" who is actually
called EG that: I am not"obsessed, it was very simple.", and this he replied: "Ha, ha, ha, I'm so
ashamed, although I have a kind of affection for obsessive bullies." Therefore, this is the one who
came to Romania self-invited, she was not taken from the airport by the defendant TT, so the crime of
human trafficking cannot be apprehended in the form of transportation from the airport to her home,
she stayed for six days and this person the injured party also stated two extremely important issues,
in the defense's opinion, namely that on April 10, after E-day, on a Sunday, she was alone in the
house with the injured person UA and they started to tell about the fact that they do not like the home
of the defendants T., which is not supported either by the alleged sequestration of persons. This can
never be, as long as she was alone in the house, with the phone, an aspect confirmed by her mother
in the discussion we had at the time related to the Embassy. Moreover, she cannot maintain that she
was guarded either, because she stated that she was alone with the injured person UA.

The injured person EG also stated in the statement that the defendants would have held
certain conferences on the territory of the United States of America where there were hundreds of
very rich men who were willing to pay 7000 euros for the ticket to listen to them. However, a person
who has thousands of euros, who holds seminars with hundreds of participants, who pays 7000 euros
for a ticket, as the injured person claimed, does not need the injured person EG to come to Romania
for six days , to provide work for them and to share the sums of money. As a consequence, he
appreciates that it is necessary to clarify what activities. criminal case was detained by the prosecutor's
office because he does not identify himself and does not understand her.
With regard to the immoral part T., namely that they held each other's necks when they were
in love and that the injured person EG had an appetite for harassers, an aspect declared by her
herself, that there were parties in which the defense would not participate, these are of an immoral
nature , but where is the criminal act, if two agree that one will make OnlyFans, and the other will
make available a management team and share their income and, wanting to go on the image of the
prosecutor's office, the defense does not find the crime. Where is the crime, maybe it would arise at a
later time when taxes are not paid and activities are not legally registered at the Trade Registry and
taxes from this type of activity are not paid, but this is a worldwide phenomenon, sport world.
Contrary to the opinion of the Bucharest Court, it shows that no one is impressed by OnlyFans
on which, in 17 volumes of criminal investigation, the prosecutor's office did not present the
pornographic material even in one tab, but the pornographic material is known from many pornographic
photographic plates sent by the injured person UA to the defendant TT.
Thus, he understands to show the court why, being angry with the defendant TA, he made the
statement about the injured person UA that he discovered the fact that she was a prostitute and that he did
not leave her alone because she was taking drugs, there being in this sense two conversations or discussions
from the person injured UA and in connection with this. Thus, in a conversation in which the injured person UA takes
Machine Translated by Google

told the defendant TA that "God made me know you and that you saved me", he was referring to
drugs because he had taken them the wrong way in the UK, as well as the statement in volume 1,
page 265 of the case file, where the witness AM A. showed: "During the summer, in the villa, A.
came a little closer to me and started to open up to me, telling me that she was raped, which she
affirmed with a smile on her face , and I noticed several notes in her phone with certain amounts
of money that she received, amounts that were in euros and with the hotel room numbers, and
from this I deduced that she was sleeping with men for money, something she also admitted to
me."
Regarding these aspects, it shows that the defense is interested in describing the moral
profile of these two injured persons because they are the quintessence of this file and that it does
not want to refer to the other two injured persons who gave forced statements, because one of
them she already had an account on OnlyFans, had been strangled and has an appetite for
aggressive men and came to Romania, lying to her family, declaring herself to be part of a
disorganized family and that she was a rebellious and difficult child, and that of - the second injured
person, likewise came to Romania without notifying his family, has a past with narcotics, declared
that he was saved, there is also the reasonable suspicion that he has inclinations towards
prostitution activities, which have not been confirmed, but he has the reasonable suspicion to do
it, given that it has evidence unlike the prosecution.
He further understands to quote Mr. Professor Dongoroz who ruled that when the court
has to deal with statements taken from injured persons resulting from or allegedly suffering criminal
damage from love relationships, the court has a difficult mission to discover what lies behind that
venom, other are the things that hurt there. It can be observed that the loverboy theory as regards
the injured person UA is not supported, asking the court to consider volumes 11 and 12 of the
criminal investigation, where, in all the arguments and on page 24 and page 28 and further vol.12,
the injured person A. is the one who returned and showed the defendant AT how much she loves
him and how much she is subject to him, and the latter made the statement that "Now you pack
your bags and leave.", after which , the injured person told UA "I'm sorry for making you stupid.",
in turn, the defendant replied: "You'll do well, bitch." Next, the injured person AU asked him: "Are
you serious? I can not.
I'm going to pack my bags, as you told me, my king.", to which the defendant replied: "Good, I'm
tired of your attitude. I'm being very fair with you, but it's a waste of time.” Later, “Baby, what are
back to me like this: I missed you, you doing? I'm sorry if I pissed you off today, it kept coming
I'm glad I saw you today. I love you.", passage found on page 75 of volume 12.

In connection with the alleged crime of rape, he shows that he submitted to the court file
photographic plates from which it appears that the injured person UA, in the evening of March
2021, arrived at Mariott, an hour and a half T. earlier than the defendant TA, together with A. and
P. I, and the most important thing is that she was sending him pictures extremely scantily clad with
a glass of wine on her thighs, showing her waiting for him to come to the hotel room. However,
this evidence in which the injured person UA did not know that "she was going to be raped" is
corroborated with the messages on the WhatsApp group that the girls had with the defendants,
messages in which the defendant TA showed very clearly that evening that he wanted to make
tonight, girls, keep " love with the three, and the injured person told them We're having a party
your pants up." and laughed. of the latter: It shows that U A was violated in this way. Because the
judge of rights and freedoms of the Bucharest Court, indeed, did not consider that there was any
evidence regarding this crime, the defense will not score for either not to waste time.
Moreover, it shows that since April 2021 the defendants have been trying to do something in this file,
that since December 29 they have been detained and only last night they were able to find out the reason for
the detention, that they could not give statements in front of the Court because they did not have the file in front
and that, until this procedural moment, they could not speak.
The trial court also notes that the attitude of the defendants TEA and TT regarding female
persons and the fact that they would work for them represents a concrete social danger, thus, the
defense showed that on social media platforms a character is being sold and not a person, who
hyperbolizes, exaggerates, they said they have 34 cars, and in reality.
Machine Translated by Google

they had 13, that they do certain businesses, but in fact there were two searches about which nothing
was found and there was never any suspicion that they were dealing in drugs or other matters. In the
online environment, the characters promote some ideas to attract a number of followers and for the
platforms in question to support them and pay them large sums of money. As an example, it shows that
there are people who make up very old women to make them look much better, others do all kinds of
messes around the house, this being the virtual online environment, but there was never anyone interested
in this file to know these defendants as they are as persons, to call them to hearings, to put their
accusations in front of them and to seek to find out the truth in the case.

As for the famous extrajudicial expert reports, it shows that it is necessary to clarify how it is
possible to use in the prosecution an extrajudicial expert report that they call a judicial expert report and
,
which, in fact, is nothing. It further shows that, in reality, these two injured persons went to a psychologist
and asked the latter to evaluate them, and this constitutes evidence in the file.

That being the case, for equal treatment, regarding the public opprobrium, documents to this
effect being submitted to the case file, it is requested to note that online, on January 5, these defendants
have 70% of the support from around the world , and, in caliT. lawyer, for several days, on all social
networks, including on the mobile phone, he receives thousands of messages with the following content:
"The T. brothers are innocent. Do something and take them off.” The press, from what they had at hand
from the press release of the Directorate of Investigation of Criminal OffensesT.
Organized, she noticed the fact that the file is very thin and everyone wonders what exactly is behind this
file, so that there is no longer any offense of opinions, the concrete social danger has also disappeared
and, it returns and shows, very important for taking the measure of preventive arrest, when the concrete
social danger appeared, considering that the defendants were not committing crimes on the street, they
were collecting them from America and England.
It further shows that, for the injured person UA who stayed for six weeks, an injured person EG
who stayed for six days in Romania and two other girls who have not spoken to the defendants for 2
years, abusively, the defendants not only they are detained and arrested, but their assets worth tens of
millions of euros are also seized, which is why two questions arise, namely how many thousands of girls
they exploited along how many miles It took years to make such a fortune and, from the statements of
four people, about whom the moral profile was made, the defense wonders how exactly the existence of
acts foreseen and punished by the criminal law can be retained.

He comes back and shows that he disapproves of the dialogue conducted by the defendant TA
with the injured person UA, but he disapproves of it equally on both sides, because they are fetishes,
quarrels between lovers who understand how to live their love life in a way that adultsT.a he doesn't
understand how to do it. Moreover, he wants to show that there is no evidence from which the reasonable
suspicion regarding the commission of crimes can result and on the other hand, in his capacity as a
lawyer, the defense did not hear about art. 381 proc.pen code regarding the preliminary hearing.
On the other hand, it is necessary to clarify how exactly the injured persons were able to affirm
these matters and leave, and today the defendants are in a state of arrest when the position towards
them is not even known anymore and as long as the injured person EG was arguing with his mother who
reproached him for calling the Embassy, that she did not want to harm the defendants, that she only
wanted to get to America. So, he specifies that it is no longer known what exactly is the position of the
injured person, an aspect that can be observed and requests the court to verify the purT discussions. with
his mother and his lover in which the injured person stated that she is free, and her mother tells her that
she is unconscious, that she is in danger, to call the embassy, the police and the authorities, that they are
human traffickers.
Regarding the loverboy method, it shows that this method is suspect, given that the injured
person UA gave the copy-paste statement, as the defendant TA shows, on a podcast the statement that
the loverboy method is used, or, towards a person who does not know exactly how she arrived in Romania
or whether she was trafficked or not, it is necessary to clarify how this injured person managed to
memorize with a comma the method described by the defendant.
Machine Translated by Google

It is clear that she was given that podcast before giving her statement to remember how things were.

With regard to the personal circumstances retained by the trial court, it appreciates that the
aspects retained are hasty and illegal, considering that it was shown that it cannot be ignored that the
defendants TT and AT were previously investigated on the territory of Great Britain for crimes of
violence . Or, in his understanding, this equates to the fact that if a person makes a complaint in an
abusive manner and the criminal investigation bodies classify the file, it will train a possible continuous
criminal behavior, aspects that cannot be accepted. The trial court had to apply the letter of the law,
put the disgust aside and refer to the evidence, the facts, the accusations and see that the accusation
is the task of the prosecutor's office in the criminal process and take a legal and thorough measure.

Last but not least, it shows that many female persons wanted to declare in favor of the
defendants how nice they behave and especially that the defendant TT is a gentleman, but submitted
to the case file the public statement of the BD stating about the defendant TT that he was really a
child and without any problem of aggression, he also submitted an email from a person from Pitesti
who called yesterday and wanted to give a notarial statement and the notary did not want to receive
it, informing him that the prosecutor's office must gives statements, in which it is shown that she
approached the defendant TT if he deals with the chat because he needed money, and he told her
that he does not deal with such things, as well as the statement of a singer from Bulgaria settled in
Constanÿa and who he showed that they had a nice relationship with the defendant TT, but that he
could not continue it because they were both very busy and that he is a gentleman, he has a vast
culture and that it seems to him a great injusticeT. to what is happening to him.
It can also be observed that what was shown by the lawyer GCI is supported, in the sense
that the injured person UA was always out of the house and did a lot of sports, that he always notified
the defendant TA and that, indeed, he ran at night. He also appreciates that the manner in which all
the statements of the two injured persons EG and UA and a discussion between the defendant N.

G. and a lady owner at ..... regarding the existence of a search and regarding the evidence. Next,
in order to complete the moral profile of the two persons, it is requested to take into account
that in the case file there are numerous photographic plates with pornographic content sent by the
injured person UA to the defendant TA, so that, as long as the injured person posed in - a person who
does not have these skills, appreciates that he cannot make his body material with pornographic
content against the one who, apparently, would abuse it.
Therefore, out of four contrary statements and several favorable ones, it shows that there are
only two statements left by the injured persons EG and UA from the months of October and November
which have nothing to do with the defendants for at least two years and which are simple statements,
without discussions, evidence, footage,
messages or phone calls. In the end, he requests the admission of the appeal, to consT. that
there is no criminal prosecution file, there is no evidence from which the court can form its reasonable
suspicion that the defendants are guilty of acts provided for and punished by the Romanian criminal
law and that all their opening and the defense be accepted in the sense that there was and there is
an interest in the case to find out the truth, with the mention of the fact that the court's theory cannot
be supported either, that, according to 223 par. (1) Penal Code, the defendants could escape, as the
hearing prosecutor stated that he bases his request for issuing a warrant of preventive arrest only on
the provisions of art. 223 para. (2) Pen proc. code as a material error of the previous request. in the
first phase. Related to the provisions of art. 223 para. (2) Code proc.pen, appreciates that it cannot
be argued that there is a danger that they will evade criminal prosecution when, the defendant TA,
knowing about the fact that the criminal prosecution in rem has been started at the complaint of the
injured person UA and that it targets him absolutely, from April to December, at least six times he left
the territory of Romania and returned.
The media pressure is terrible, so they request that this process not be made a public trial
and, if it is necessary to make a fair trial and to protect the criminal procedural interest of the good
conduct of the criminal investigation, but also the fundamental rights of to man, it requires at most the
preventive measure of judicial control, the application of a measure to satisfy
Machine Translated by Google

the rigor of the prosecutor's office to show public opinion that it is protected and for the defendants to
formulate their defense and enjoy the status they really have, their image already being ruined.

The chosen defender of the appellants - defendants RAL and NGM, having the floor, in
essence, requests, by reference to art. 204 para. 12 of the Civil Code, admitting the appeals, canceling
the appealed conclusion and, rejudging, to order the rejection of the proposal to take the measure of
preventive detention.
The defense considers that the challenged conclusion is illegal, since the conditions provided by
art. 223 para. 2 of the Criminal Code, on the two levels, namely reasonable suspicions and danger to
public order.
Considers that from the present factual situations. the prosecutor's office cannot find any evidence
to justify the reasonable suspicion that the defendants constituted a criminal group.
Administrative relations or hierarchical work relations, regardless of the activity carried out, cannot
generate reasonable suspicion as long as the video chat activity is lawful and profitable.

It requests to be noted that two of the injured persons P. I and ABG, together with AM, called
Smurf, at a given moment took care of the other girls, sometimes accompanying them where they moved,
which is why the defense wonders why these two girls, who apparently were supervising the others, are
not part of the organized criminal group. The idea of a group would no longer be sustainable if two girls
who are seized and exploited, because they actually live in the T. brothers' ..., were part of that group
and, moreover, those girls shared the rent among themselves , as it results from all the statements that
are in the criminal investigation file.
Also, the statements of these three girls, two of whom have the title of injured person, without
understanding why the prosecutor's office assigned them this title, contradict those of the injured persons
in the present case, the opinion of the defense being that there is no no kind of constitution and no kind
of organized criminal group.
As far as the crime of human trafficking is concerned, there is only evidence that disproves the
accusation, none that justifies the reasonable suspicion of the commission of the act, since there are not
the two normative variants supported by the accusation consisting of transportation and sheltering.
It requests to be noted that UA and GE A were, in the opinion of the prosecutor's office, forced to
be transported. from America and respectively England to Romania under the conditions in which they
came alone and of their own free will. Not to mention the sheltering, also by coercion, in .... of the T.
brothers.
Regarding the other injured persons A SA. and P. CD, will make brief references, considering
that his colleagues have already spoken about them.
Returning to the injured persons P. I and ABG, he shows that he does not understand why they
qualify as injured persons in this case, considering their statements given in April and the notarial
statements given yesterday in favor of the defendants. It is requested to take into account the fact that all
these girls were partners in video chat activities, being co-interested and receiving half. from the amount
received, considering that the thesis of coercion is excluded, highlighting the patrimonial interest that the
girls in the villa had, given the fact that the video chat activity is an extremely onerous one, there is no
synonymous relationship between a possible immoral character of these activities and the illegal nature
of the acts impuT., such nudiT. on the platforms of special T., not being incriminated. In addition, it
requests that it be observed that the evidence shows close friendships between the cerceT persons. and
the alleged injured persons.
He claims that all these accusations are based only on some statements and on some truncated
conversations transcribed by the prosecutor's office and from the statements of some allegedly injured
persons. It shows that these statements were taken in April 2022 and without carrying out any other act
of criminal prosecution other than two statements, a danger to public order suddenly appears, a danger
so serious that the prosecutor's office decides to detain people and proposes preventive arrest their's.
The defense believes that the danger to public order must be assessed concretely, starting from
the exact contribution of the two girls to the commission of the alleged acts, that is, from the actions or
inactions that are imputed to them. because only these explain the seriousness of the facts or not and the
measure that can be taken or not against you.

He believes that in the particular case of the two girls there is not even an indication of the negative impact
that the release of T. it would have on civil society, the simple association with the image of the T. brothers in some
work relationships not being sufficient.
Equally, it requests to be noted that the personal circumstances of the defendants, i.e. they have higher
education, they have no criminal record, make them eligible for the investigation in the state of freedom.

He also requests to observe the mental state of the accused RA, who, under the given conditions,
categorically cannot present a danger to public order. In the alternative, if it is judged
that the public interest must be protected at this procedural stage, by reference to art. 204 para. 12 with 11
Criminal Procedure Code, requests the placement of the defendants under the measure of judicial control, with all the
guarantees provided by art. 215 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and in the event that it will be appreciated that a
more severe control is imposed on the defendants, requests to refer to art. 218 Criminal Procedure Code which has
the same conditions from art. 223 Criminal Procedure Code.

At the same time, it shows that the court has at its disposal the provisions of art. 221 para. 3 Procedure code
criminal with reference to art. 215 Criminal Procedure Code.
As a consequence, the defense requests the admission of the appeal, the annulment of the contested
conclusion and the rejection of the proposal of the prosecutor's office to take the measure of preventive detention in
the main, and in the subsidiary, if it is judged that there is a reasonable suspicion, although the defense further states
that there is no of evidence in this file, requests the taking of a milder alternative preventive measure, namely the
preventive measure of judicial control or the preventive measure of house arrest. Submit written notes to the case file.

At the request of the chosen defender of the defendants T. III EA and TT, lawyer ECV, the collegial panel of
rights and liberties judges orders the suspension of the case for 5 minutes.

The representative of the Public Ministry, having the floor, requests the rejection of the appeals formulated
by the four defendants, considering the fact that the conclusion of the judge of rights and liberties of the Bucharest
Court by which the preventive arrest was ordered is legal, thorough, ample and very convincingly motivated. Considers
that it was correctly found that the provisions of art. 202 para. 1 Criminal Procedure Code, given that
the evidence administered in the case shows reasonable suspicion that the defendants have committed the
crimes of forming an organized criminal group and human trafficking for which they are being prosecuted. In essence,
it shows that the corroborating evidence is the statements of the injured persons UA, GE A, AS A., P. C – D, the
transcripts of the purT conversations. through the Whatsapp
application, the minutes of investigations in the online environment, the minutes of computer searches, the
reports of psychological expertise regarding the injured persons UA and GEA From these evidences, concrete
methods of committing the crimes, the hierarchy within the criminal group result and the role of each of the members.

Thus, the defendants AT and TT had the role of recruiting victims who were transported. and sheltered in
houses in Romania, and the defendants NGM and RAL had the role of supervising and coordinating the entire activity.
exploitation.
From the conversations of the injured person UA with the defendant AT it emerged that this defendant is the
one who leads the organized criminal group.
It shows that the recruitment of the victims by the defendants AT and TT was done through the so-called
"loverboy" method, the defendants identified vulnerable people, exploited their needs for affection and trust, created
the impression of a close relationship, after which the victims were exploited. sexually by being forced to perform
pornographic manifestations and subjected to forced labor.

The defendants NGM and RAL had a very important contribution, they carried out the constant surveillance
of the victims, coordinating their daily activities and exerting physical and mental pressure to make the victims work
as much as possible.

He claims that all the evidence he referred to and the factual situation are extensively analyzed
in the contested conclusion, under this aspect the criticisms formulated by the defendants' defenders are
unfounded.
The prosecution cannot fail to note that the defense attorneys for the defendants contradict their
own statements, when they vehemently claim that there is no evidence or solid evidence to support the
charges, but call for lighter preventive measures, such as house arrest or judicial review. Article 202
para. 1 Criminal Procedure Code is very clear, all preventive measures can only be taken if there is
evidence or solid indications that a person has committed a crime.

If they request the taking of lighter preventive measures, they implicitly recognize the existence
of evidence or solid indications that the defendants they defend committed the crimes for which they
were arrested and, consequently, in the opinion of the prosecutor's office, they can no longer credibly
criticize regarding this aspect.
It was stated by the defendants' defenders that the purT conversations were not legally obtained.
through electronic messaging applications, these claims are unfounded, because part of the conversations
were obtained following computer searches authorized by a judge, and the access to the computer
systems made available by the injured persons was also done with the authorization or the confirmation
of the judge.,
At the same time, according to art. 139 para. 3 sentence I of the Code of Criminal Procedure,
the recordings made by the parties or by other persons constitute evidence when they concern their own
conversations or communications they had with third parties.
Regarding the claims of the defense, in the sense that the reports of extrajudicial psychological
expertise would have certain legal defects, T. believes that these expertises comply with the provisions
of art. 97 of the Criminal Code, and the judge assessed these evidences within the administered
evidentiary ensemble and assessed them based on art. 103 Criminal Procedure Code, so there was no
misrepresentation of the judge of rights and freedoms at the Bucharest Court by the prosecutor's office
regarding these expertises.
Considers that the judge correctly considered that the offenses of forming an organized criminal
group and human trafficking fall among the offenses provided for by art. 223 para. 2 Criminal Procedure
Code and also correctly found that deprivation of libertyT. of the four defendants is necessary to remove
a concrete danger to public order, taking into account the following: the nature and gravity of the crimes
committed, respectively the formation of an organized criminal group and several crimes of human
trafficking, the concrete way of committing facts, respectively through physical, psychological and verbal
violence, taking advantage of the victims' vulnerabilities, by adopting an insidious behavior in order to
mislead the victims, the purpose of committing the crimes which is to obtain profit from the exploitation of
the victims seen only as a commodity, the consequences produced towards the victims, especially their
irreversible psychological damage, as it results from the psychological expert reports that were contested.
by the defenders of the defendants, without having a reasonable argument, in the opinion of the
prosecutor's office.

Psychological and verbal violence perpetrated. for the purpose of coercing the victims are found
in almost all conversations between defendants and victims. Thus, the defendant NG-M., regarding
whom his defender claims that he has a physical constitution too frail to be able to coerce the victims in
any way, does not miss any opportunity to insult, or even threaten
with death.
For example, in the conversations reproduced on pages .....-49 of the contested conclusion, the
"
defendant NG says to Yasmina P.: I, punch you in the mouth until I arrive, because after that I'll give you
ten more, incurable lazy person you are, I'll break you when I get there." And in the conversation
mentioned on pages 111-112 of the report with the proposal for preventive arrest, the same defendant
tells Iasmina P. that maybe she will end up directly in the morgue, if she doesn't post enough clips.
The same acts of coercion were exercised by the defendant RL, who, as a former police officer, knew
very well what she was doing. For example, it follows from the statement of the injured person PC that, when
she wanted to leave, the defendants RL and NG opposed her, NG put her hand in her throat, pushed her
under a desk, asking her "where she thinks she is going ", and RL told him that he was trying to leave for nothing
Machine Translated by Google

police, because nothing can happen to her, given that she has relations in the police and in DIICOT.

Victims are seen only as a profit-producing commodity, some of them being depersonalized and
dehumanized almost completely.
For example, PI Accused AT repeatedly addresses him only with "whore", all the other defendants
an insult, but PI no longer has any reaction, this being already "brainwashed", according to the statement of
the injured person UA.
The criminal activities of these defendants are a form of slavery, according to the prosecutor's office.
Like 19th century US slave owners who branded their slaves with a red iron, the AT and TT defendants
brand their victims with tattoos indicating that they are on the defendants' property. For example, tattoos
with the message "owned by T.", in English.

He believes that correctly, the judge from the Bucharest Court assessed that the arrest of the
defendants is necessary for the proper conduct of the criminal process, considering that people who may
have knowledge of the criminal activities of the defendants are to be heard, some victims still being under
the control and influence of the defendants. For this reason, he requests the judges of rights and freedoms
from the Bucharest Court of Appeal not to take into account the four notarial statements, dated 09.01.2023,
submitted by the defendants' defenders in the court session, statements given by the security guards at the
scene the deed and two of the victims.

In the correct way, the judge from the Bucharest Court assessed that the arrest of the defendants is
necessary to avoid their evasion from prosecution or trial, considering their financial possibilities and the
public statements of the defendant AT, who stated that, in the case in which there is a risk of going to prison,
he can leave the territory of the country without problems. Correctly, the judge at the Bucharest Court
assessed that
the arrest of the defendants
it is necessary to prevent the commission of other crimes.
Defendant AT is not just a defendant who committed the crime of human trafficking. In the opinion
of the prosecutor, he is, equally, a theoretician of the crime of human trafficking, who disseminates through
social networks his primitive conceptions regarding how they can be exploited. women, having tens of
thousands of followers.
At the same time, he publicly stated that Romania has authorities that are easy to corrupt, and the
laws are very permissive.
Considering these aspects, the lack of a firm response from the judicial bodies to the acts committed
by the defendants would constitute an encouragement for these defendants and other persons to commit or
continue to commit such acts, especially in Romania.
It should also be borne in mind that the defendants AT and TT also committed the crimes by
computer means, so that, in the event that preventive measures other than preventive arrest, such as judicial
control or house arrest, would be taken against them, such as requested, they would not prevent them from
continuing their criminal activity, considering that the judicial bodies would no longer be able to exercise
effective control over them.
Regarding the proportionality of the preventive arrest with the seriousness of the accusation, it
states that there is clearly such a proportionality. Moreover, this is the reason why the legislator provided in
art. 153 para. 2 lit. c Penal Code that the crime of human trafficking has no statute of limitations and placed,
under this aspect, the crime of human trafficking alongside the crimes of murder, genocide and crimes
against humanity and war crimes.
At the same time, it shows that the assertions of the lawyers, who claim that the injured persons are
in friendly relations with the defendants and that, in fact, they would have only benefited from the defendants
and that they would have willingly come to the defendants, are unfounded. These statements are common
defenses of human traffickers and the legislator came to meet such situations and provided in art. 210 para.
3 of the Criminal Code that the consent of the person who is a victim of human trafficking does not constitute
justifiable cause, a legal text that cancels all the claims of the defendants' defenders, including those related
to the Labor Code.

The lawyers' assertion that preventive arrest is not required because nine months have passed since
the beginning of the criminal investigation, during which the defendants did not evade the investigations, is
unfounded. During these nine months, it shows that the defendants had the status of witnesses, not suspects
or defendants, and DIICOT, before requesting preventive arrest, had to provide evidence to corroborate the
statements of the injured persons. During this period, several thousand pages were transcribed and translated
into Romanian with the conversations between the injured persons and the defendants, from which the
relevant parts for the case were extracted. Only after it was established that these conversations corroborate
with the statements of the injured persons, the proposal for preventive arrest could be formulated.

Therefore, the prosecutor's office fully complied with the provisions of art. 305 para. 1 and 3 of the
Criminal Procedure Code, according to which, when the reporting act meets the conditions provided by law,
the criminal investigation body orders the initiation of the criminal investigation regarding the act committed or
the commission of which is being prepared, even if the perpetrator is indicated or known, and when there is
evidence from which there is a reasonable suspicion that a certain person has committed the act for which the
criminal investigation has been initiated and there is not one of the cases provided for in art. 16 para. (1), the
criminal investigation body orders that the criminal investigation continue to be carried out against it, which
acquires the status of a suspect.
The claim of the lawyers, that the victims could have left at any time, is baseless and attempts to
make a mockery of the victims. Thus, from the statements of the injured persons it follows that they were
always accompanied, from the conversations of the defendants T. it follows that they forbade them to leave
the house alone, from the statement of the injured person GE A it follows that there were armed guards in the
yard, moreover, the injured person GE A explains that he did not call the police because the defendant T.
T. scared her by implying that she is being watched all the time with surveillance cameras placed all over the
house. She stated that once, when she was writing something, the defendant TT sent her a message and told
her that he saw her writing.
The defenders of the defendants stated that there is no evidence, medico-legal documents, to prove
the physical violence. There are no such medico-legal documents because the defendants acted on the sly,
leaving no traces. For example, from the statement of the injured person AS A., it follows that the defendant
NG, in order to avoid leaving traces of violence on the body of one of the girls who had a recent breast implant,
lifted her arm in order to undo the operation, after which he affirmed that she is not stupid to beat her to leave
"
her marks".
Regarding the previous contacts of the defendants AT and TT with the criminal law, it is stated that,
from the minutes of 20.07.2022, drawn up by the police bodies, it follows that the authorities in Great Britain
communicated, through the Center for International Police Cooperation, that the defendant AT is charged with
two crimes against the person and two crimes of a sexual nature, and the defendant TT is charged with crimes
committed against the person.

He appreciates that these data prove the tendencies of the defendants AT and TT towards physical
and sexual abuse, and the records from Romania, submitted by their defenders, in which these data from
foreign T. do not appear, are irrelevant.
The statements of the defender of the defendant AT in the sense that, from the contents of the video
postT. on social networks, the defendant would only interpret some characters that cannot be accepted. and
the judge from the Bucharest Court, correctly did not accept them because he shows the same attitude in the
relations with the injured persons, as is very clear from the conversations with
these.
The statements of the defendants are disingenuous and do not corroborate with the rest of the
evidence administered in the case. Today, they tried to nuance their statements given at the Bucharest Court,
after seeing that they were arrested, statements that are still insincere.
Contrary to those supported by the defense of the defendants, T. indicates that the legal basis is art. 223
paragraph 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on the basis of which he supports the proposal for preventive arrest,
considering that all the evidence and statements of the defendants prove a risk of evasion, of leaves the territory of
Romania and considers that there are no incidents pursuant to art. 223 paragraph 1 letter a of the Code of Criminal
Procedure because this ground would be an incident in question in the context in which preparations or attempts to
leave the territory of Romania had already been made .

The fact that the defendant RL's grandfather has died does not justify the admission of the appeal
filed by her, considering that, according to art. 99 paragraph 1, lit. e from Law 254/2013, the persons arrested.
preventively, they have the right to participate, under escort, in the funeral of close relatives.

The medical conditions of the defendant AT, invoked by the defenders, do not justify the admission
of the appeal formulated by him either, because in the pre-trial detention unit he benefits from all the medical
care he needs.
It was stated by the defendant AT that the file would be related to his conversion to the Islamic
religion. The case has nothing to do with the Islamic religion, it only has to do with the criminal activities of
the defendants. The authorities in Romania did not have a disrespectful attitude towards the Islamic religion,
and the prosecutor, personally, also respects the Islamic religion. In conclusion, taking into account the

considerations set forth, pursuant to art. 4251 , para. 7, point 1,


LIT b C.pr.pen., requests the rejection of the four appeals as clearly unfounded.
The collegial panel of judges of rights and freedoms rejects the reply requested by the chosen
defender of the defendants RAL and NGM, although the defense stated that the Representative of the Public
Ministry did not claim any traffic offense for the two defendants and only mentioned the exploitation.

The appellant-defendant TT, personally having the last word, sees that it is hard for him to believe
that he is surrounded by high-class lawyers and the discussions revolved around issues like who has TikTok,
who has Instagram, who has WhatsApp. He believes, that it is the prosecutor's job to prove that he is a
trafficker of human beings, but this should be done on the basis of evidence, and not on what is said or what
is heard in the press.
He believes he is here because of the media, the same media that accused his girlfriend of being
transsexual and now she has a child, the media that accused him of going on a date with a very hot American
woman , but that person is actually his sister, and he wonders if these are the people responsible for
determining who goes to prison.

He shows that today should be a day of celebration for him, considering that his girlfriend is giving
birth to his child today, he does not know if it has already happened, if the child is healthy, he does not know
if they are alive or not because he is in court listening to the accusation that says how serious human
trafficking is, given that he also knows how serious it is.
He mentions that he is a person who founded non-profit organizations in this country and who helps
people who are abused in this country, but no one has proven that he can be called a human trafficker.

His life may have been destroyed, but whatever is done to him, his character will not be destroyed,
he will continue to politely address the charge and continue to thank the woman in the prison who brings him
breakfast, food and everything he has need. He claims that he is a good person and his character cannot be
destroyed.
The details of this case will not remain in this court, the details of this case will be spread all over the
world, the only thing that will be destroyed from this story written by the prosecutors is the international
reputation of the Romanian judicial system. The world will know who are the real victims here and who are
the real criminals.
The chosen defender of the accused appellants TA and TT, lawyer ECV, sees that the
conventional representative of the defendants, the UK lawyer who has a contract with the defendants, is
present in the court and requests that he be given the opportunity to be present in the courtroom on the
occasion the last word of the accused AT.
The Collegiate Panel of Rights and Freedoms Judges requests evidence of whether the UK
attorney has power of attorney in this case.
The appellant - the defendant T. III EA, personally, having the last word, sees the fact that he
respects the time of the judges of the Court, and it would take him hours to destroy the myth of the 75
mistakes that are like in a play Shakespeare and will do this together with his lawyer in writing and in a few
minutes will tell what really happened..

DIICOT focused on a very narrow channel in building this case, ignoring certain aspects, they lied by
omission, they did not consider the evidence in their favor, this is the short version of the absolute truth. He
shows that in the box are his brother, his personal assistant and a girl he knows by the name of Ely and whom
he has greeted 2-3 times over the course of 2 years, these are them.

During the defenses of the defendant appellant AT, the lawyer from the UK presented himself and
the ECV lawyer submits the contract and its delegation to the case file.
He shows that he is a man of integrity, he traveled to London where he met A. who worked in a strip
club in London and had problems with drugs, she was the one who told him several times that she would like
to comes to Romania, and he agreed. One day, when he was out of the country, he told her that he wanted to
come to Romania, she came to Romania by plane and asked him to live in his house.

He also states that his first fear when he moved to this country was that he would be on the wrong
side of the judicial system and he spent his entire life as if he were under constant surveillance, he did not
want to allow himself to be in his house a person who is a drug addict, so he told her to stay with G., who is
his personal assistant, because he trusts G. and knows that she is not a drug addict.

The girls moved in together and A. sent her messages on WhatsApp 12 h/day, every day, all these
received messages were ignored and only a very small fragment was given importance.

He shows that he is a very busy man, A. told him that she wants to open a cafe, she wants to act in a
television show, she wants money from him to help her with a beach bar, that she wants to become famous
on TikTok. He asks the court to believe that he did not know and did not understand what plans he had related
to the money, she constantly sent him messages with 24 different ideas every time. In this file which is full of
untruths you can see how she told him that the girls also want to do TikTok with her, that she can
earn money, his answer was to make sure she keeps all her money and told him that whatever ideas the girls
have , to make and keep their money. With all due respect, he shows he didn't care about it, he has big
problems in a big world.
She also shows that she asked him for 200,000 euros to buy her sister a house in Chisinau.
At the same time, whenever they met, 2-3 times a week, he noticed that she was missing sums of money, not
large, from his room, then, from reliable sources, he found out that she was a prostitute and told him that she
no longer he wants to have anything to do with her.
He ignored all these messages in which she begged him to stay with her and then told her that if he was going
to leave, at least give him the money for his sister's house. When he refused to give her the money, she filed
..... a complaint with DIICOT with an imaginary story. She made this complaint and then left to be sure that a
whole circus was unleashed here. His house was raided, no girl was found, no drugs were found, they found
no violations of the law, he cooperated with DIICOT and gave them the electronic equipment, and for the next
six months DIICOT asked what can he give them to prove that this person is lying. Thus, it shows that the
Directorate for the Investigation of Criminal Offenses was available for a whole week.

Organized and Terrorism to help them and for them to see and understand that this person is a liar. In
conclusion, it shows that it
does not make any sense for a well-known man like him, who has been in the news every day for the
past few months, to have no statement against him, except for a single statement from a prostitute. Millions of
people in this country know where the evidence is then against him as if he was lying and evidence for
everything. The only two victims in this file gave statements in his favor and wonder why the world, the
universe of a drug addict should be respected and the world and universe of other girls who do not take drugs
should be ignored. This is not justice and he swears, as his brother said, that the facts involved in this case,
the phantasmagorical history without concrete evidence will not last long and it is time for this circus to end.

It also shows that A. is looking at us and eating popcorn.


The appellant-defendant RAL, personally, having the last word, considers that she knows the fact
that the crime of human trafficking is an unlimited and without
Machine Translated by Google

scruples, but it was not committed by her and she does not believe that it can be imputed to her. He also
shows that he did not want to nuance anything, it is the first time he gives a statement and he will answer
any question to the DIICOT criminal investigation bodies if he is given such a chance. He will go to the
prosecutor's office next week to say more and unlock his phones. It requests to take into account the fact
that criminal liability is personal.
The appellant-defendant NGM, personally, having the last word, sees that she understands the
seriousness of the accusations, but she did absolutely nothing, she did not coerce anyone, she did not
transport anyone, she did not force anyone to do any work. In relation to her quarrels with I, and she can
confirm this, she mentions that they were related to cleaning or stealing food from the house, an aspect that
can also be proven from purT's messages. on the group where all the girls were. In the end, he shows that
he hopes the truth will be revealed as soon as possible.
The collegial panel of judges of rights and liberties retain the case in the pronouncement.

Considering the need for the proper conduct of the criminal investigation, the prosecutor assessed
that it is necessary to take the measure of preventive arrest against the defendants T. III EA. TT, NGM and
RAL.
It was shown that the administered evidence also showed that the defendants T. III EA, TT, NGM
and RAL are in the prev situation. of art. 224 para. 1 and paragraph 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,
considering that there is evidence that they have committed crimes for which the punishment provided by
law is greater than 5 years - establishment of an organized criminal group, prev. of art. 3..... para. 1, 3 and 6
Cp; human trafficking, prev. of art. 210 para. 1 lit. of C.pen. rap. to art. 182 lit. a and c C.pen. and rape, prev.

presents a concrete danger to public order.

It was found that the existence of concrete danger results from the extremely serious social danger
of the crimes of forming an organized criminal group, human trafficking and rape from the public reaction to
the commission of such crimes, from the possibility of similar acts being committed by other people , in the
absence of an appropriate reaction towards those suspected of being the authors of such serious crimes
against human freedom and dignity.
The prosecutor assessed that the release of T. of them would not lead to fulfilling the requirements
of art. 224 C.proc.pen., as it would create the impression, both for these persons and for the other recipients
of the criminal law, that such behavior is allowed without taking a firm measure on the part of the authorities
and, in this way, it could form a state of deep dissatisfaction and fears, disrupting the state of normality.
called by the legislator "public order".
Next, it was noted by the prosecutor that when establishing the concrete danger regarding the
perpetrators of the crimes, both data related to their person, known with criminal antecedents, such as the
case of the defendants T. III EA, TT, can be taken into account, according to the correspondence made
through CCPI.
At the same time, it was assessed that the particularly high social danger of the facts for which the
defendants are being investigated stems
from: - their practiced ability to identify potential victims of human trafficking and to take advantage
of the victims' vulnerabilities, based on their age tender, the lack of support, affection and attention from
family members and society, the existence of previous acts of violence that caused unidentified and untraT
traumas, including sexual abuse; - the capacity and effort of the defendants
to exercise permanent psychological control over the victims, including by resorting to acts of
manifest violence. constantly, precisely in order to defeat the resistance of the victims and turn them into
"slaves"; - the propagation by the defendants T. III EA and TT of
some justifications regarding violence against women, at the international level, through the "War
Room" organization, concepts already put into practice by the defendants and highlighted in the ways of
committing the acts.
- the capacity of the defendants to generate violence in order to obtain significant amounts of money
and goods resulting in the creation of examples and the questioning of the most important social values such
as equality, justice, happiness, honesty, hope, gratitude, responsibility, love, respect, tolerance, empathy.

From the evidentiary material administered in the case, there was clear evidence regarding the fact
that the defendants T. III EA, TT, NGM and RAL sexually exploited the victims by forcing them to perform
pornographic manifestations and by forcing them to perform some work, after initially recruiting them by
misleading and later, during the sheltering of the victims, by permanent physical and mental coercion.

Also, the prosecutor, in the report with a proposal for preventive arrest, considered that it must
be taken into account that the sums of money obtained from the exploitation of the victims were used
by all the defendants to support themselves, to invest in properties and goods, they not having any
other source of legitimate income, preferring such a way of life, located outside the Law. It was
appreciated that the possible position of the victims who were exploited must also be taken into
account. in the material interest of the defendants, respectively a possible procedural position designed
to exclude the criminal liability of the defendants, especially since the defendants misled the injured
persons regarding the feelings they had towards them, being accordingly manage to obtain forgiveness
in the same way or to amplify their sense of fear as a result of acts of violence exercised. by the
defendants while they carried out their criminal activities. In this context, the prosecutor argued that it
is justified to take the
preventive measure of arrest against the defendants T. III EA. TT, NGM and RAL to enable
the creation of a sense of security for trafficked victims. and to allow obtaining testimonies
corresponding to reality, highlighting the trauma suffered, the brutal behavior of the traffickers and
their lack of empathy.

Thus, the state of preventive arrest is absolutely necessary to continue the activities of hearing
all the people who have knowledge of the criminal activities.
It was also noted in the report with a proposal for preventive arrest that for the defendants, the
phenomenon of human trafficking is a common and common fact, they did not give statements or
continued to blame the victims, such as the situation of the defendant T. III EA who went on to claim
that "Women understand how to use the court system to punish men and I believe that these
statements against me are made by these women who are jealous who have known nothing but
asking me for money to go shopping. This in the context in which all the injured persons in this case
asked the defendant T. III E.
A. attention and affection, a request that was obviously conditioned by this defendant on the
performance by the victims of activities that would bring him income. The situation being the same in
the case of the defendant TT.
The prosecutor also noted the fact that the activities carried out by these two defendants could
not be carried out without the essential involvement of the defendants NGM and RAL (former police
officer) who acted as true guardians of the interests of the defendants TT and T. III EA and in turn
exercised acts of violence on victims, completing the mechanism of victim destruction.
The evolution of this type of crime has caused the perpetrators to move on to the material
element of the crime by manipulating the victims, taking advantage of their moral superiority, generally
renouncing acts of physical or moral coercion or other brutal instruments. In other words, currently,
the act of recruiting and sheltering the victim of human trafficking is carried out, in the first phase,
through actions to gain the trust of the victim by the trafficker, a circumstance that is achieved as a
result of his ability to identify vulnerabilities (poor material condition, lack of family support, limited
education, sexually and physically abused person, since childhood) and the needs of the victim,
namely the need for affection, trust (for this condition a close relationship is necessary).

Then, after the initial stage of trafficking through actions of recruitment, transport and shelter,
the trust of the victim in the aggressor, his perpetrators, the fear generated by the acts of violence
carried out during the sheltering of the victim are used as the purpose for which the initial trafficker
acted, respectively the exploitation of the victim, to be achieved by determining, facilitating and
obtaining patrimonial benefits from the practice of prostitution, in no way with a view to founding a
family or to lay the foundations of a relationship.
In this context, it was appreciated that, given the state of authoriT. of the perpetrators on the
victims, as well as the state of vulnerability. of all injured persons, it can be appreciated that the
releaseT. of the defendants will create for the victims a state of fear and distrust in the institutions that
have a role in documenting and holding the defendants
accountable. As far as the defendants T. III EA and TT are concerned, it was assessed that
the investigation of them in a state of freedomT. would create real risks for the proper conduct of the
criminal process, as it is possible for them to evade investigations, leave Romania and settle in countries that d
Machine Translated by Google

allow extradition. In this regard, it was mentioned the capacity of the defendants to leave Romania for long
periods of time, as well as their interest in diversifying the places where they could hide - "If I'm wrong and
England wants me in prison, I can fly with a Nigerian passport or with an American one, or English or Polish,
or Estonian. / I have bank accounts in 19 countries" -
The European Court of Human Rights has accepted that, in exceptional circumstances, by their
gravity and by the public's reaction to their commission, certain crimes may cause a social disturbance such
as to justify detention before trial.
It was shown that the manner in which the perpetrators acted outlines a mode of operation
clear and sustained, denoting criminal specialization and mutual support.
It was also mentioned in the proposal that according to statistical data, the mortality rate for exploited
persons. sexual abuse is between 10 and 40 times higher than the average and between 60 and 80% of
"workers" have experienced physical and sexual abuse regularly.; 40% of exploited women. sexually
imagined themselves committing suicide and 20% attempted suicide. 80-89% of exploited women. sexually
active women say they want to stop prostitution, and the chance of contracting HIV is almost 14% higher for
them than for the rest of society. 60-75% of prostituted women have been raped, 59% of prostituted women
have been raped more than 5 times, 70-95% have been physically assaulted; 76% of victims of physical
assault sustained a chronic wound as a result of the assault, 88% were subjected to continuous and repeated
verbal and emotional abuse, and 68% met criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder, in the same category
as war veterans in treatment and victims of state-organized torture.

The traffickers used various methods to keep the victims in a state of dependence, they used
complex strategies to win the victim's trust, betting on the vulnerable T. of the victims, whom they manipulated,
so that they end up not perceiving their existence in the their absence. In order to achieve their hidden
objective, the traffickers gained the trust of the victims by posing as affectionate, honest people, while also
offering them a "better" version of life, thus gaining total control over the victim. In reality, the "better" version
of life belonged to the traffickers.

Therefore, it was opined that from the evidence administered so far during the criminal investigation,
there are plausible reasons that outline at least the reasonable suspicion described in art. 5 paragraph 1
letter c of the ECHR, that the defendants committed the acts for which the criminal action was initiated (the
case of Fox, Campbell and Hartley v. the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) reasons that
could lead to the conviction of an objective observer that the persons . have committed the crimes they are
charged with, without it being necessary that at this time there is sufficient evidence to make a full charge,
that is, to send them to court (see the case of Murray v. the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland). In addition, it was appreciated that the deprivation of libertyT. of the defendants is necessary for
carrying
out the criminal investigation activities consisting of conducting computer searches, hearing other
witnesses, as well as for the prevention of committing acts of the same kind in the future and for the safety of
the injured persons, who, although they were removed from the influence of the defendants , they can come
back under their influence and can be influenced during the criminal process.

Analyzing the documents and works of the file, the judge of rights and freedoms found, in accordance
with T. with the provisions of art. 226 para. (1) C.pr.pen., that in the case the conditions provided by the law
for taking the measure of preventive arrest of the defendants are met.
Thus, it was taken into account that the provisions of art. 202 para. (1) and (3) C. proc. pen., art. 223
para. (2) C. proc. pen
The judge of rights and liberties noted, at the same time, that art. 5 lit. c of the European Convention
for the Protection of Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms conditions the legality of the deprivation of
liberty measure on the existence of credible and solid reasons in the sense that a crime has been committed,
which presupposes the existence of sufficient data to convince an objective observer that it is possible that
the person in question has committed the crime he is charged with.

In order to order the preventive arrest of the defendant, the conditions provided by art. 223 C.pr.pen.
regarding the existence in question of the evidence from which the suspicion results

provisions being compatible with the provisions of art. 5 paragraph 1 letter c and para. 3 of the
Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Analyzing the legal provisions invoked, in relation to the facts held against the defendants, the
judge of rights and liberties held that the provisions of art. 223 para. 2 C.proc.pen. rap. to art. 202 para.

In order to retain in this way, the judge of rights and freedoms took into account the statements
of the injured persons UA, GE A, AS A., P. C - D which corroborate with the resulting aspects. from
the reports of extrajudicial psychological expertise and the minutes of the playback of conversations
through the Whatsapp application.
Thus, as regards the injured person UA, her statement showed that she met the defendant
TA at the end of January 2022, through the Instagram application, in conversations the defendant
began to speak to her more and more romantically, and the injured person started to develop feelings
for him. On February 6, 2022, the defendant visited her in London, on which occasion they went on a
date at a restaurant chosen by the defendant. On the occasion of this meeting, the defendant TA told
her that he was looking for a serious woman, like her, to marry, and if the injured person was serious
with him, he would marry her. That evening they had sex, and the next day the defendant told her he
could no longer stay in London, but two days later they met again and went to another hotel together.
The injured person also showed that they continued to meet in February 2022, and on February 14,
2022, the injured person went to the Republic of Moldova. Considering this, the defendant TA told
the injured person to come and visit him in Romania, and she agreed. The injured person stated that
she had started to trust the defendant, and he told her to move to Romania. In this sense, he put the
injured person in contact with the defendant NGM, whom he told him was his assistant, and she
bought the injured person the plane ticket to Bucharest.

It was shown that the fact that the injured person UA was recruited by the defendant TA
E. by misrepresenting the intention to establish a relationship of marriage or cohabitation and the
existence of false feelings of the defendant towards the injured person also result from the purT
conversations. through the remote communication application "Whatsapp" by the injured person with
the defendant, reproduced in the minutes of the criminal investigation file, from which the following
passages are relevant:
"[04/02/2022, 13:55:01] E.: you must understand that once you are mine, you will be mine for
always. A woman never leaves her man. I will be the last man in your life.”;

Regarding his move to Romania, the injured person UA stated that the defendant T.
A. initially told him that they would live together, but later told him that in the house where he lives there are several
men who work with him and his brother, so it is better to get another apartment, just for the two of them. At the time
when the injured person arrived in Romania, the defendant TA was not in the country and told the injured person
that she would not be able to live in the apartment, she would have to live with NG, who bought her plane ticket,
took over from airport and drove her to the building where she was going to live.

These aspects were confirmed by the conversations between the injured person and the accused purT.
via the remote communication application Whatsapp: “[24/02/2022, 12:17:28]
E.: what I want you to do is plan your flight here as soon as possible, and when you land I might be gone for a few
days / But my personal assistant is here, she's Romanian and she's super nice. he will take care of you until I
return.", "[26/02/2022, 13:56:10] E.: you will come to Romania / We will have our apartment, I work with the boys
but I can come home in the evening. I'm going to give you a bunch of things to do here, I always need help. /I'll
make sure you have money. /And we will be together.)".

The injured person testified that when the defendant NG picked her up from the airport, she told him that
she would live with some girls who work for the defendant TA and his brother, who had accounts on OnlyFans and
shared the earnings with the two of them. The injured person mentioned that it seemed strange to him what the
defendant N. was telling him, but he was already in Romania and had nothing else to do, thinking that when the
defendant TA will return to Romania, they will live together, as he had promised.

The statement of the injured person UA was corroborated with the resulting aspects. from conversations
purT. by the injured person and the accused through the Whatsapp application:

impression that she was being controlled. At one point, he told the defendant TA that he wanted to go to the
Botanical Garden with two girls from Ukraine (whom he previously indicated had been brought by the defendants
NG and lived in the house for about five days). The defendant TA told her that they could only go accompanied

victim UA stated that while in London, the
defendant AT told her that they were going to have sex and with other girls, the injured person not
agreeing, and at that time the defendant told her that he would not impose this on her. On March 18, 2022, the
defendant AT wrote on the group "Obbey the King" that he will have sexual relations with the injured person UA,
PY and ABG that evening and that they will be staying at the hotel ...... With this occasion, the injured person UA
replied to the said TA that he did not agree, but after talking to the said PY and ABG, she was convinced by them
to go to the said hotel, which happened. After they checked in, as the injured person UA was
Machine Translated by Google

in a state of tension, as she had never had sexual relations with other girls before, the said PY took two bottles
of wine, which the three consumed before the defendant AT arrived. In this context, the defendant AT maintained
sexual relations with the injured person UA, PY and ABG. It showed the injured person that although she was
dizzy from the alcohol she had consumed, she was aware of what she was doing. There were things that the
injured person UA did not consider normal, but the defendant AT always gave him the impression that what was
happening was perfectly normal. After the sexual act took place in the hotel room, the victim UA locked herself in
the bathroom and began to cry loudly, because she realized that she had been "manipulated".

The injured person stated that on 27.03.2022, the defendant AT told him to get ready because he was
going out in the city, but things changed and, that evening, he stayed at home, in which context he noticed that
he came another girl who had luggage on her and introduced herself as Kira, the girlfriend of the said TT. While
there, defendant AT told him "Go to the room.", as Kira and defendant TT were also present. Later, the defendant
AT followed her and told her that first he would rape her and then they would talk. Thus, the defendant AT told
the injured person to take off her clothes, keep her shoes, then hit her across the face. According to the statement
of the injured person UA, she could not reject the defendant AT, because he, during the sexual act, held her
head and told her that he did not want to see any more negative messages from the injured person and that she
was lucky not to locked her in a house. Then the defendant AT assumes that first he will have to get her pregnant,
then he will lock her in a house and then she will definitely go crazy. The injured person stated that when the
defendant AT carried out acts of violence, she cried and was scared because she believed him to be capable of
anything.

The injured person UA stated that she did not want to involve the police, because she was afraid that she would
be locked up somewhere by herself, by the AT.
According to the statement of the injured person UA, she never agreed to these sexual acts and relations
that she had with the defendant AT, but he and the other girls manipulated her and made her accept it.

In the content of the extrajudicial psychological expertise report no. 5/18.04.2022 (vol. 3, f. 27-51), the
clinical psychologist who evaluated the injured person showed that Aliona U's narrative seems to correspond to
a grooming script that can be compared to a game of chess in which the master is waiting to make the ultimate
move to take control. Aliona's needs were first assessed and the hope of meeting them created, after trust and
presence were established. the opportunities of a life not to be refused. The isolation reported by A. allowed him
to lose power over his own life and gain control over the people who decided what was going to happen. The
psychologist showed that he was able to identify during the anamnestic interview elements such as fantasies,
manipulation, seduction, complex approach strategies, isolation strategies, persuasion, the motivation of trust in
the person who was in control, all of which are elements that can be found in the specialist literature. in the
analysis of trafficking or abuse (Ramona Vijeyarasa in 2015 in the work Slavery and the Trafficked Woman). At
the same time, in the evaluation of Aliona U, he was able to identify that she experienced elements of
psychological pressure. It was found that the traumatic events following which A.

U was a victim, they had important and irreversible consequences on her mental reality, which presents the
symptomatic psycho-somatic load specific to the Acute Stress Syndrome: anxietyT., affective vacuum state,
susceptibleT., low tolerance threshold and hyperactive restrictionsT., autism (withdrawal into oneself), self-
blaming reflexes, affective-emotional rapture, crying spells. (SJ
Scheraldi, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Ed. Lowell House Epstein 1993).
Regarding the injured person GE A, it emerged from her statement that she met the defendant TT
through the Reddit application, as well as on a matrimonial site, being contacted by him and continuing to talk for
about a month - a month and a halfT ., and then they met physically at the end of December 2021. It revealed
that while they were talking through the said apps, the defendant TT asked her what qualities she looks for in a
man when she is thinking of starting a romantic relationship with someone. It showed that the injured person told
the said TT that she was interested in an educated, creative person who would respect her, and the accused TT
presented himself exactly as she wanted a boyfriend to be.

It was appreciated that these aspects are also confirmed by the purT conversations. between the person
injured GE A and defendant TT, from which the following passages are relevant:

there was no problem if she would also go to this conference and that they would live in a very nice house and it
would be a very special first date. There were a lot of men at that conference, and all those attending the conference
lived in the house where the injured person GE A and the defendant TT also lived.

Injured person GE A stated that he stayed overnight because he was already in Miami.
He stated that during the day, at this conference, all kinds of work events were organized, to which women were not
allowed access, later understanding that this happened because they wanted women not to know what was being
discussed there. There were conferences specially organized for men to teach them how to relate to women. The
injured person specified that in order to enter the conference in Miami, he had an invitation, and in general, the
participants of these conferences can buy the tickets online, which can be worth even 7000 euros.

She further testified that on that night she slept with the defendant TT in the same room, but told him that
she did not want to have sex, which the defendant agreed to. Injured person GE A stayed with defendant TT in Miami
for almost a week and during those weeks had sexual relations with him.

Victim GE A further reported that on the last night she was with Defendant TT in Miami, while they were
having sex, he strangled her with both hands, the victim telling her he didn't want to be roughed up, abused. He
mentioned that he realized from the look of the defendant TT that he had consumed alcoholic beverages and after
that the injured person passed out. Injured person GE A reported that after he recovered, he did not fully understand
what had happened. Defendant TT told her that she passed out and that she was the one who asked him to hug her
but he didn't do it because he didn't like it. She stated that she had bruises on her neck and it hurt when she
swallowed. The injured person indicated that after what happened, she cried all night because she was not sure
what had happened, but because she did not remember, she began to believe that what T. was telling her was true.
In the continuation of the statement, the injured person GE A showed that after the defendant TT left, they continued
to talk through the messages they sent to each other through the Whatsapp
application. Defendant TT told her that he did not want to see her around other men or even look at men.
At first, the defendant TT was very romantic, affectionate, then he became cold and distant. From time to time, he
would tell her that he missed her and ask her if she missed him.

The injured person GE A also reported that before leaving Miami, the defendant TT asked her if she wanted
to move to Romania, and she told him that she did not want to do that. After several months, the injured person GE

injured person GE A the data of the card with which she reserved the plane ticket. The ticket cost about 4000

gate. On the first evening, they went to the room of the defendant TT, the injured person asking him if he wanted
to do something, thinking that they would talk, to find out what happened during the time when they did not see
each other , but the defendant told her that he did not bring her to Romania, to that house, for no reason, so they
had sexual relations. When the defendant told her that they were going to have sex, she recalled that the defendant
TT, that night in Miami, had actually strangled her, so she simply froze, and she had sex with him.

time when they continued to talk through messages, but she was afraid only when she remembered
what had happened in Miami, and in that moment it was already too late.
Next, the injured person GE A reported that he lived in the house of the said TT, from
Tuesday to Friday, in the afternoon. During all this time, the injured person GE asked the defendant
TT to introduce Romania to her, but she was told that there was nothing to be done for her. The
victim stated that she asked the defendant if she would stay in that house forever, but he told her
no, she was not a prisoner, but if she tried to leave, the men guarding the gate would not let her
step outside the yard unless he shows them he has an order from Glovo. Defendant TT always
argued that it was too dangerous for her to leave that house because he had enemies.

The injured person GE A further stated that she could not mention whether she realized that
she was deprived of her liberty at this time, because the defendant TT told her that she could leave
at any time, but when he left the residence, she could not get out of the yard Thus, he asked the
guards to open the gates so that he could leave, but they told him that they did not understand the
language, and at one point, he tried to communicate with them even through Google Translate, but
they still said that they did not understand what they are told.
The injured person GE A claimed that she did not call the police because the defendant TT
scared her, told her that he had surveillance cameras everywhere in the house and it even happened
to her that when she went to the living room to write, the defendant TT he texts her to let her know
he sees her in the living room writing. Thus, the defendant TT implied that she was being watched
all the time.
The injured person reported that on Friday afternoon, she told the said TT that she no longer
wanted to live in his house, and he asked her if she wanted to live in another house where two
girlfriends of the said TA lived, the brother of the said TT, or in another apartment where another of
his girlfriends lived. The injured person testified that she knew that the defendant TT was a playboy,
but had no knowledge that he was living and having love affairs with other women. The moment
she realized this situation, she was scared, she just wanted to go home, but she was too scared.
According to the statement of the injured person GE A, while she lived at the residence of
the defendant TT, she was alone, until Friday, when she met his girlfriend, the one with whom she
was going to move in, but at that time not knowing that she girl is the girlfriend of said TT, thinking
she is just a friend. This girl, Carmen, said that she was glad that they were going to move in
together, but that he would have to get to know her better. Injured person GE A showed that she
was surprised but agreed to this because she wanted to see if Carmen was in the same situation
as her. The injured person further claimed that he asked Carmen a lot of questions and thus found
out that she had a relationship of one year and four months with the defendant TT and that she was
originally from Romania. Carmen told the injured person that she was in the business of video
chatting and that she would teach her everything she needed to know about it. According to the
statement of the injured person GE A, the day before, the defendant TT asked her if she was willing
to post photos of her on Onlyfans. He then told her to text him the final answer because when he
had asked her in person, she had said she didn't know. From the question of the said TT, the injured
person GE A understood that if she agreed to send him nude photos, he would pay her the sum of
50,000 euros. The injured person stated that she texted the defendant saying that she was not
comfortable having nude photos taken of her with her face visible, but that if her face was blurred,
she might be able to do so. The injured person showed that when he moved to the other house, the
girls who lived there, respectively B, Y. and A, called Smurf, did this, that is, they posted on Onlyfans,
except for Aliona, who posted on TikTok.

From the contents of the conversations between the injured person GE A and the defendant
TT, purT. through the Whatsapp application, it turned out that she had other expectations regarding
how things would develop between her and the defendant after his arrival in Romania: ”[4/10/22,
6:12:02 AM] Bear: sorry that I deleted the messages./I was saying that I missed you and I
was wondering when we can spend time together soon? /I really wanted to see Romania and you
would be the one to show it to me, please
Machine Translated by Google

[4/10/22, 6:39:36 AM] Bear: I want to teach you music and find a job nearby I can't show
my body on onlyfans – sorry. I want to keep it just for you.”

were two girlfriends of the defendant TA, but in reality. there were four. He later found out that all
these girls, except the injured person UA, were in that house for over a year. Also, all these girls
individually said that each of them is the girlfriend of the defendant A. and that they will have a child
with him.
The injured person GE A also showed that he saw a message on the phone of one of the
girls, in which the defendant AT kept telling her to self-mutilate to prove that she loved him. The girl
did not agree with this, but the defendant AT kept insisting. One of the girls who was in a relationship
with the defendant AT, respectively Y., said that if someone tries to intervene in their relationship she
is able to do anything or if the defendant AT asks her to kill someone, she is able to do this.

Next, injured person GE A reported that when he found out that injured person UA had been
there for a month, he wanted to talk to her, as he noticed that she was not happy and wanted to see
if they were in the same situation. In speaking with AU, she learned from her that defendant AT had
lied to her because he was saying the same things to all the girls and she didn't want to be there.

These matters were found to be confirmed by the injured party UA who stated that the
defendant NG mentioned that the defendant TT had a new girlfriend who would be suitable for
"COSPLAY" because she had Asian features. The injured person UA also showed that, approximately
four days ago, a new girl with Asian features, named E., arrived in the building where she lived. She
was brought to the building by the defendant NG who stated that injured party GE A previously did
Onlyfans and will try to work together with defendants TT and AT as she has not been able to make
much financial gain doing it alone.

The injured person GE A mentioned that before talking to UA, he talked to said PY about
everything going on there and realized that A. didn't know what was really going on.
The girls were not allowed to talk to each other about their other relationships, and if they did, they
were threatened with beatings by the said NG. The named PY was even threatened by the defendant
NG. According to the statement of the injured person GE A, they were in that house because they
were in the beginning.
These aspects were corroborated with the statement of the injured person UA, according to
which the named PY had been working for the defendants TT and AT for about a year and had told
the injured person GE A many intimate things, such as that she was realT. in a relationship with the
defendant AT and not the injured person UA. He stated that the said PY tried to approach the injured
person GE A but failed as she realized that the said PY was lying.
On the birthday of E. (defendant RAL, nn), a party was organized in the home of the T. brothers, a
party in which both she and E. participated, and on this occasion, the injured person GE A tried to
approach the person injured AU. The day after the party, i.e. Sunday, 10.04.2022, while only she
and E. were in the house, the latter told her that they had to leave there. They decided that the
situation was critical and that they had to leave as soon as possible, also buying plane tickets to
London, wanting to leave without anyone knowing about it. According to the statement of the injured
person UA, the injured person GE A made the decision to tell a friend in America about what is
happening to him in Romania, but he does not know exactly what he told him.

The injured person GE A also stated that the girls were dictated not only the schedule,
namely what they should eat or what to do in a day, but also the way they should look. In this regard,
there were girls who underwent cosmetic surgery. The girls controlled by defendants T.
T. and AT are tattooed and these tattoos contain the message “T. owned" (owned by T.).
According to the statement of the injured person GE A, during the time she lived with those
girls, she was not allowed to leave the house alone, she was always watched by the other girls,
except for A.. Every time she said she wanted to go out , she was told that she must be accompanied

According to the extrajudicial psychological expertise report no. 4/18.04.2022 (vol. 3, f. 1-
26), the social history that includes information about past and current friendships, intimate
relationships, sexual history, social support and hobbies and activities portrays E. A G. as a person
who wants the attention of others, she needs to feel special, wanted and loved, aspects that push
her to project these needs onto someone who seems to embody her desires, pushing rational
arguments into the background. Vulnerability to recruitment arising from this exacerbated need to
be chosen and to be special, aspects that are speculated upon at the time of grooming.
The basic assessment of E. A G.'s academic and professional history provides the context in which
she was able to act appropriately and take the time to notify someone of what was happening where
she was. It was also found that the traumatic events after which E. A G. was a victim, had important
and irreversible consequences on her mental reality, which presents the psycho-somatic load
symptomatically specific to the Acute Stress Syndrome: anxietyT., state of affective vacuum ,
susceptibleT., low threshold of tolerance and hyperactive restrictionsT., autism (withdrawal into
oneself), self-blaming reflexes, affective emotional rapture, crying spells (SJ Scheraldi,
Postrtraumatic Stress Disorder Ed. Lowell House Epstein 1993). Example: self-thoughts "I don't feel
safe anywhere anymore, I can no longer live the way I used to, I can no longer have the freedom I
used to have...". Thoughts about others: "I can't trust anyone anymore..." It was also noted that the
behavioral dysfunctions specific to Acute Stress Syndrome can be the etiological source of some
paradoxical behaviors, non-existent before the trauma in the psychological profile of subject E.

A G. and generated by the extreme impact of the stressor – exposure to recruitment and sexual
exploitation.

to leave the house without their consent, she called the police and said she was being seized. She
stated that this event took place around October 28, 2021, when she had not yet moved. By the
time the police arrived, defendant NG was very angry with C for calling the police, went to C's room
with the intention of kicking her out and, to avoid leaving marks of violence on her body, picked her
up the arm precisely because she had recently had a breast implant and thus there was a risk of
the operation falling apart. At that moment, the defendant NG admitted that this was the goal, to
have C.'s operation take place, saying "I was just not stupid to beat her to leave her marks".

revenge, the defendant NG, helped by ABG and AM A. called "...", hacked C.'s accounts, using even her
laptop, which she had stayed in the house, specifying that the defendant NG was at her house and did all
these things while on the phone with ABG. Called A SA. she mentioned that she was there, as she had

Regarding the money obtained on the OnlyFans platform, the injured person P. CD stated that he
did not receive any amount of money, the defendants RAL and NG telling him that he did not win anything.

Injured person P. CD claimed that these things are not true, because during that period, he sent
them daily pictures and videos of her just to be posT. on OnlyFans.
Those OnlyFans accounts did not have the injured person's card attached, but a foreign card, he suspects
it was G.'s card, and the real beneficiaries of the money obtained from OnlyFans were the defendants TT
and AT. Also, ABG received from the defendant NG, at a given moment, the sum of 3000 lei, money that
she had earned from OnlyFans. Both she and the other girls had a percentage of 50% of the earnings
made on OnlyFans and TikTok, but she never signed a contract for it. The other girls received their part of
the sums of money physically/in cash or on Revolut, directly from the defendant NG.

At one point, the defendant RAL told her that they were returning only 25% of the amount
won by the injured person and that the other 25% goes to the defendants TT and AT.

because he had learned from the defendant TT that he was not working enough and was not earning enough money, the
defendant TA considering that ABG was embarrassing him.
The injured person P. CD, stated that she believes that during the whole period when she worked
for the defendants TT and AT, the defendant NG had the role of manipulating them all, in the sense that
she showed herself available to help them, but in reality. play a double role.
According to her statement, the defendant NG is the right hand of the T. brothers, having a close
relationship with them, spending a lot of time together. Defendant NG is the one who administers the bank
accounts of the named TT and AT and makes payments for them. And about the defendant RAL, injured
person P. CD stated the same things, they were always in the company of the named TT and AT.

The injured person also claimed that the defendants TT and AT had several girlfriends at the same
time, this being their tactic of racketeering. The defendant TA was in a relationship with both the named P.
I, as well as ABG, even slept with both at the same time. When one of the defendants TT or AT met a girl,
those with whom they were already in a relationship had to accept that they were getting new girlfriends
and they introduced themselves to the new girls only as employees. Every time a new girl was picked up,
defendants TT and AT would throw a party to display the opulent lifestyle they could provide, as they did in
his case.
According to the statement of the injured person P. CD, the defendants TT and AT also have
sexual relations with the gang girls, often asking them to have sex in a group. In this regard, the injured
person P. CD specified the fact that the defendant TT also asked her to have sex with him and another girl,
named Carmen, which initially, the injured person P. CD refused.
Later, after consuming alcoholic beverages, he had sexual relations with the defendant TT and Carmen.

Injured person P. CD claimed that American cards were used for the OnlyFans and TikTok
platforms and through a VPN they were banned for Romania.
The injured person stated that I took money out of TikTok only once, about 50 dollars. TikTok money was
transferred to a PayPal account, and from there it was transferred to a bank account.

to post exactly the pictures and videos that the T brothers told them to, and if they don't, the girls are fined.

The statements of the injured persons UA and GE A were also corroborated with the statement
of the named AS – A., according to which the defendants NG and RL had the passwords of all the
accounts used by her as well as PY, ABG and AM A. and checked how much money they made every
day. After the calculations were made, the named AS - A. transferred to the named NG, on Revolut, the
50% share of the money earned on Tik Tok in the respective month. She also stated that for deviations,
for example because they did not come in at the time set by NG, because they stayed longer during the
break, because they cried on the live, because they wiped their nose during the live, different prices were
reduced, approximately 10% for each deviation. Thus, the said AS – A. showed that, most of the time,
she received less than half T. from the amount won. With regard to Onlyfans, she showed that she, PY,
ABG and AM A. did not have access to the accounts, only the defendants NG and RL had access. At the
end of the month, they would tell them how much money they made on Onlyfans and give them part of these amou
The named AS – A. claimed that he did not know how much money he earned on Onlyfans, he may have
earned more than the defendants NG and RL told him, but on Tik Tok he earned approximately 5000
Euros every month, and his share on Onlyfans it was about 300-400 Euros. He stated that the defendants
NG and RL always told them that the other girls were making around 40,000 Euros on Onlyfans and that
she, PY, ABG and AM A. were weak from this point of view.
In the same sense, the statement of the injured person P. C - D was judged to be the same,
showing that he did not receive any amount of money from the money obtained on the Onlyfans platform,
the defendants RL and NG telling him that he did not earn anything. The injured person mentioned that
this is not true because she was sending pictures and videos daily to be posT. on OnlyFans. stated that
those OnlyFans accounts were not attached to his card, but to a foreign card, and the real beneficiaries of
the money obtained from OnlyFans were the defendants TT and TA. The injured person mentioned that
the named AB – G. received at one point the sum of 3000 lei, representing money earned from OnlyFans.
It showed the victim that both she and the other girls had a percentage of 50% of the earnings made on
Tok Tok and OnlyFans, but she never signed any contract to that effect. The other girls received daily, in
cash or on Revolut, part of the sums of money, directly from the defendant NG. The injured person
claimed that at one point, the defendant RL told him that only 25% of the amount won by the injured
person was going to her, and the other 25% was going to the brothers TA and TT.

The same aspect concerning the division of sums of money also resulted from the purT
conversations. by the defendant RAL with the defendants NGM and the named ABG:

At the same time, the conversation on the WhatsApp messaging application between the named P. I
– V., ABG AS A., AM A., ............ A. and the defendants NGM and RL, obtained as a result of the computer
search, confirmed the aspects declared by the injured persons regarding the fines received in the case of the
so-called violations:

With regard to the crime of constituting an organized criminal group, it was assessed that both the
statements of the injured persons and the named AS – A., as well as the purT conversations, are relevant.
through the Whatsapp application, which shows both the hierarchy within the group and the role of each of
the members, the defendants TEA and TT having the role of recruiting persons, who were transporT. and
sheltered in houses in Romania, and the defendants NGM and RAL, the role of supervising and coordinating
the entire activity. exploitation.
From the conversations of the injured person AU with the defendant AT, pertinent aspects regarding
the hierarchy of the group emerged:
”[29/03/2022, 13:20:12] AU: I heard that you are the one who runs the business with the girls
[29/03/2022 , 13:20:16] AU: Onlyfans and TikTok
[29/03/2022, 13:20:22] E.: T. and G are
[29/03/2022, 13:20:25] E.: But I lead them"
The following passage from the conversation between Ra AL and the said P is also relevant.
Y.:
"RL: Money for yesterday 23/03/2022 00:32:38 (UTC+2)
RL: 3$ 23/03/2022 00:33:05(UTC+2)
RL: Yes, I'm getting goosebumps 03/23/2022 00:33:14 (UTC+2)
RL: That at Sf luinii A. will argue with tt. Tt me and me you 23/03/2022
00:33:31(UTC+2)"
Regarding the crimes of rape held against the defendant TAE, it was found that in order to retain
these crimes, the prosecutor took into account the statements of the injured person UA. The judge of rights
and liberties assessed that in order to reach the standard of evidence necessary to outline the reasonable
suspicion regarding the commission of these crimes by the defendant, additional evidence is required to
corroborate the statements of the injured person and to clarify the factual situation.

The defendants did not admit to committing the acts they were charged with. Thus, the defendant T.
EA argued, in essence, that the statements of the injured persons were given for the purpose of revenge and
to obtain a media spectacle. About UA he stated that she was his friend, she told him that she would like to
leave London, to move to Romania, so she told him that if she comes, she will help her. She mentioned that
she doesn't know if he found her accommodation, she stayed with him for 4-5 days, then she wanted to bribe
Machine Translated by Google

with some girls he knew. The defendant also stated that he did not know if she earned her money from
activities on TikTok or Onlyfans, he never asked her to remit money from the earnings, because he did
not know that she was making money on TikTok. She mentioned that he was the one who bought her
bags, paid for her trips and never asked her for money. He also claimed that he does not have a TikTok
account, never had, does not understand this platform and does not use it. At the same time, the
defendant stated that he never invited girls to come to work in Romania and never requested money from
their earnings. The defendant emphasized that he is not in Romania most of the time and cannot have
an activity. of organized crime, as long as he's not here. He stated that he had no agreement with his
brother and the other defendants to bring girls to Romania and ask them to work and earn money on
social networks.
Defendant TT stated before the rights and liberties judge that 2 years ago he met a woman in
Miami, Florida who seemed a little crazy, but they spent a fun week together. He returned to Miami to see
her a second time. While he stayed in Miami, he never suggested that she come to Romania. One day,
at her suggestion, she sent him her card details to book a flight herself. During his stay in Romania, he
attended a party at his home, but he was not present at that party. He further stated that she had a friend
in Miami, and from her Instagram posts from his home, he recognized the house, which was his suspicion.
To apologize for cheating on both him and that friend, she told his American friend that she didn't want to
be at his house party. He mentioned that he was glad the police came and searched the house because
she wasn't hanging out there and the party was over. He specified that he spent thousands of dollars in
Miami, this woman used his card to book business class to get to Romania, so it cannot be said that it
was a business transaction for him. Regarding P. CD, he showed that when he broke up with her, 2 years
ago, out of revenge he made a complaint against her, from which it appears that he destroyed her clothes
and everything that belonged to her, but it was not mentioned not once about exploitation, TikTok,
Onlyfans or kidnapping.

The police and the prosecutor mention that this was also a business for him, but they state that he paid
for a breast augmentation operation for her, which cost 6000 Euros. He also mentioned that from April
2022 until now he left Romania 6-7 times, but he always returned to cooperate with the police authorities,
talked to those who investigated him and answered all the questions. Regarding the security guards, he
stated that he does not know MajoriT.a and it is absurd to believe that a man like him could hold other
people prisoner. He stated that he did not collude with his brother and the other defendants in order to
obtain earnings from other people's work, nor would there be a need for such a thing, as they have
enough money from their salaries.
The defendant NGM stated that she does not understand where these accusations started, as
she is still currently friends with two of the respective girls, PY and AB, and goes to the gym and shopping
with them. He also stated that he has his own house, does not live with these people and has no way of
knowing what they are talking about or what they are doing. He stated that it is difficult for him to
understand these accusations, considering that he weighs about 50 kg. She mentioned that she is a
woman and could not cause such trouble to another woman. She also showed that she did not understand
how she could be accused of such a thing, given that she had been out of the country for several months.
Regarding the TikTok platform, she revealed that she saw some posts on the feed and noticed that they
were rewarding themselves with diamonds, she started doing it too, and the other girls asked her how to
do it. They weren't made to do this by anyone, they asked her how it worked and she showed them.
Money from TikTok was transferred to their Paypal. Regarding the girls in question, she showed that they
were friends with the T. brothers and she, being friends with them, became friends with them as well.
The defendant also stated that there was no collaboration between her and the T brothers in
terms of supervising the girls in any way, they only asked her to help them in case they needed a
hairdresser appointment or with other such information. Regarding the existence of transfers between her
and the girls, she showed that she borrowed money from PY and ............ A., the money was not
transferred in exchange for something, it was of a simple loan, which he returned. The defendant also
stated that the girls were not locked in the house, which would not have been possible, since there was a
latch on the inside that allowed the door to be opened. He also specified that these girls had phones,
laptops, internet access and could go out anytime.

The judge of rights and freedoms could not retain the present versions. by the defendants,
these not being reliable and not corroborating with the other means of evidence administered in the
case.
Regarding the condition provided by art. 223 para. 2 thesis I Penal Code, the judge of rights
and liberties noted that at this procedural moment, there should be no evidence of the same difficulty.
with those that form the basis of a referral to court or that establish a conviction. As the European Court
of Human Rights has consistently ruled, art. 5 par. 1 lit. c of the Convention does not require that the
authorities have sufficient evidence to formulate a complete accusation from the moment of deprivation
of liberty, the role of the preventive arrest measure being precisely that of allowing the clarification or,
on the contrary, the removal of suspicions, so that at this moment the evidence must provide a series of
reliable and credible data, information that supports the reasonable assumption that the person against
whom criminal prosecution has been initiated has committed the deed/deeds of which he is accused.

Therefore, the evidence from which the reasonable suspicion on which the measure is based
must not present the same level of certainty as that which justifies the prosecution of a person and,
even less, with that which allows a conviction to be pronounced.
The judge of rights and freedoms noted the fact that the statements of the injured persons and
the witnesses heard in the case revealed a pattern in the way of action of the defendants, which makes
it difficult. and credible. the statements taken individually, all the more so as these statements were
corroborated with the psychological expert reports regarding the injured persons UA and GE A, but also
with the resulting aspects. from purT conversations. between victims and defendants through the
Whatsapp application.
Also seeing that, according to ECtHR jurisprudence on the matter (the case of Fox, Campbell
and Hartley v. the United Kingdom), at the time of taking the preventive arrest measure it is not
necessary to have sufficient evidence to be able to formulate a complete accusation, the judge of rights
and freedoms found that there is sufficient evidence for this procedural moment, as they are presented
above, from which it is reasonable to assume that the defendants TT, NGM and RAL committed the
crimes charged against them and that the defendant TEA committed some of the crimes of which he is
accused, the condition stipulated by art. 223 para. 2 thesis I C. proc. pen

Thus, it was assessed that the evidence administered up to this point in the case is sufficient to
convince an objective observer that it is possible that the defendant T. III EA committed the crime of
constituting an organized criminal group, prev. of art. 3..... para. 1, 3 and 6 Criminal Code and three
offenses of human trafficking, prev. of art. 210 para. 1 lit. of C.pen. rap. to art. 182 lit. a and c C.pen.
(injured person UA, victim P. I, victim AB - G.), that the defendant TT committed the crime of constituting
an organized criminal group, prev. of art. 3..... para. 1, 3, 6 Criminal Code and three offenses of human
trafficking, prev. of art. 210 para. 1 lit. of C.pen. rap. to art. 182 lit. a and c C.pen. (injured person GE A,
victim A SA. and injured person P. CD), as defendant NG-M. to have committed the offense of
constituting an organized criminal group, prev. of art. 3..... para. 1, 3, 6 Criminal Code and six crimes of
human trafficking, prev. of art. 210 para. 1 lit. of C.pen. rap. to art. 182 lit. a and c C.pen. (injured person
UA, injured person G.
E. A, victim A SA., injured person P. CD, victim P. I, victim AB - G.) and as defendant RA-L. to have
committed the crimes of constituting an organized criminal group, prev. of art. 3..... para. 1, 3, 6 Criminal
Code and five crimes of human trafficking, prev. of art. 210 para. 1 lit. of C.pen. rap. to art. 182 lit. a and
c C.pen. (injured person GE A, victim A SA., injured person P. CD, victim P. I, victim AB - G.).

At the same time, it was specified that at this moment the criminal investigation is ongoing, and
the fact that 9 months have passed since the time when the criminal investigation in question was
started and the first evidence was administered is not likely to remove the fulfillment of the conditions
provided by the provisions procedures for taking the preventive measure.
The judge of rights and freedoms also emphasized the fact that taking a preventive measure
against the defendant during the criminal investigation does not affect the existence of the presumption
of innocence as a fundamental principle of the criminal process. of art. 4 C.pr.pen., their compatibility
Machine Translated by Google

resulting precisely from the purpose pursued when taking the measure, as it is provided by the
provisions of art. 202 C.pr.pen.
Thus, the provisions of art. 202 para. 1 C.pr.pen., but also ECtHR jurisprudence.

However, as it appears from the documents in the file, the defendants TEA and TT are
internationally known persons, having received special exposure both in the press and on social media
platforms, and the facts of which they are accused are serious. special, so that it can be reasonably
estimated that letting them go free would be likely to really disturb public order.

Regarding the condition regarding the concrete danger to public order, the judge of rights and
liberties held that the notion of "danger to public order" must be evaluated from the perspective of
concrete facts that determine the retention of this condition, and according to art. 223 para. 2
C.proc.pen., they consist in the assessment of the seriousness of the deed, the manner and
circumstances of its commission, the entourage, the environment, the criminal antecedents, as well as
the circumstances related to the person of the defendant.
The judge of rights and liberties also held that certain crimes, by their particular gravity, by the
manner of committing them, by the reaction of the public, can cause a social disturbance of such a
nature as to justify a provisional detention, the danger to order public being sufficient to exist even only
in the area of society's perception of the manner in which the authorities act to stop the criminal
phenomenon, in order to discourage possible other similar illegal behaviors and in order to restore
confidence in the act of justice, and on the other hand , a mild reaction to this kind of defendants would
create a feeling of insecurity. public.

It has been shown that it is true that until a decision in a criminal case is final, the person judged
enjoys the presumption of innocence, but the legislator has established that, in the event that certain
expressly provided conditions are found, one can be taken from the preventive measures, regardless
of whether or not the accused admits to committing the acts for which he is being tried, whether or not
he has a criminal record, the internal rules of procedure being in full agreement with the provisions of
art. 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The judge of rights and freedoms assessed that the release of T. of the defendants would affect
the wishes imposed by the criminal law and create a climate of insecurity. social and distrust of citizens
in the act of justice, all the more so as the defeat of social relations that protect the freedom and dignity
of vulnerable people creates in the community. a strong reaction of dissatisfaction and insecurity. In the
context of Decision no. 1389/2010 of the
High Court of Cassation and Justice, it was noted that from the definition of human trafficking,
contained in the Protocol on the prevention, suppression and punishment of human trafficking,
especially of women and children, additional to the United Nations Convention against Transnational
Organized Crime, it follows and the forms in which this crime takes place in relation to the characteristics
of the trafficked persons and traffickers, the purpose pursued and the interest targeted, the nature of
the causes that generated the phenomenon, the social implications, but also the specifics of the social
values damaged (human rights).
Thus:
- viewed from the point of view of human rights, human trafficking includes slavery, forced
labor, violence, abuse of trust, physical and mental aggression of the person, being the assessment
that human trafficking is a form of slavery is fully justified beginning of the millennium; - from an
economic
point of view, trafficking involves financial interests (huge profits), regional and international
networks, the illicit circulation of money (laundering money that comes from trafficking and on the basis
of which trafficking activities are carried out);
- from the point of view of the origin of the phenomenon, the factors that generate and support
trafficking are the extreme poverty of the victims, low educational level, lack of self-confidence, failures
in life;
Machine Translated by Google

- from the perspective of damaged social values, trafficked persons are reduced to the condition
of "commodity", they are gradually dehumanized, their deepest feelings being damaged, the trauma
suffered marking their entire future evolution;
- from the point of view of social implications, due to the alarming increase in recent years,
human trafficking is becoming a national and transnational phenomenon, being favored by the general
process of globalization and the use of modern technologies; -
from the perspective of the intended purpose, trafficking implies huge profits for traffickers, including
in the case of trafficking for the purpose of forced labor.
From the perspective of the victims, human trafficking can be classified by the nature of the
abusive acts perpetrated. on them and which aims, among others: the social aspect (psychological
and physical abuse, supervision to prevent the movement or free movement of victims, lack of decision-
making power, lack of access to medical services); the legal aspect (deprivation of identity documents,
possession and use of false documents, threats to surrender to the police); the economic aspect
(burdened with debts, non-payment, withholding of unjustified payments).
The criminal phenomenon in the sphere of organized crime is a dynamic one, it develops and
adapts to social and economic realities, and the authorities must adjust their mode of action and
reaction to the current ways of committing such acts.
Crimes of human trafficking have experienced a constant evolution, so that the recruitment of
victims is also achieved by gaining trust and determining them to have feelings of affection towards the
defendants, being misled about the reciprocity of the feelings, the possibilities. of a stable relationship
or even starting a family, in order to then be manipulated and determined to perform pornographic
manifestations and submit to the execution of a forced labor, in order to produce and disseminate such
materials, using platforms such as the website www.onlyfans.com and the website www.tiktok.com, in
order to obtain material gains.

Specifically, the judge noted the ability of the defendants TEA and TT to identify vulnerable
people and to exploit the needs of affection, trust, stability. of them, creating the impression of a close
relationship and thus removing any suspicion that the victims might have had, the need for attention
and affection from the defendants being then exploited in order to determine them to perform the above-
mentioned activities. It was shown that the contribution of the defendants NGM and RAL cannot be
ignored either, who carried out the constant surveillance of the victims for the defendants, coordinated
their daily activities and exerted psychological pressure on them to make them work as much as
possible.
Under this aspect, the judge of rights and liberties held that leaving the defendants freeT.
presents a danger to public order and it is necessary to take the measure of preventive arrest to
remove this state of danger, considering the particular gravity of the crimes committed by the
defendants, the concrete ways in which they acted, proving a fundamental contempt for relations social
protected by criminal rules.
Thus, regarding the condition provided by art. 223 para. 2 Penal Code, respectively deprivation
of liberty. is necessary for the removal of a state of danger for public order, the judge deemed it fulfilled,
by referring to the nature and concrete gravity of the facts held against the defendants, intentional
crimes, by which the freedom of will and action of the persons is affected , but also in the manner of
committing, the defendants TEA and TT creating for the victims, by misleading, the illusion of feelings
of affection and stable relationships, so that then, taking advantage of their vulnerability, they are
introduced into the house where found out the other girls and determined to create photo and video
content, under the supervision and control of the defendants RAL and NG, in order to post the materials
on the TikTok and OnlyFans platforms, with the aim of obtaining material gains, aspects that highlight
the particular gravity of the facts and dangers .of the defendants. The judge of rights and freedoms
also takes into account the consequences of committing the acts on the victims, being likely to seriously
endanger their mental and emotional balance. Thus, acts of this type have a strong psychological
impact on trafficked persons, who are practically dehumanized, this form of exploitation being likely to
produce effects both psychologically and emotionally, as well as socially.

Regarding the personal circumstances of the defendants, with reference to the aspects
invoked in the defense in this regard, the judge of rights and liberties assessed that they are not likely
to remove the concrete danger to public order that they present. Even if the defendants are not known
to have criminal records, this is a state of normality. and cannot justify, in the context of the present
case, the release. of the defendants at this procedural moment, in relation to the high gravity of the
alleged crimes of human trafficking and the creation of an organized criminal group, for which they are
being investigated. Moreover, although the documents in the file did not show that the defendants had
any previous convictions, it cannot be ignored that the defendant TT was previously investigated on
the territory of Great Britain for a crime against bodily integrity, and the defendant TAE for crimes
against the person and sex life offences.

Also in the context of personal circumstances, the attitude of the defendants TAE and TT
regarding the female persons working in their interest and regarding the ways of obtaining some
income easily, as they resulted from the posT video contents, was considered relevant. on social media
and audio-video content broadcasting platforms, namely TikTok and YouTube, from which we exemplify
the following passages: "When I started, the girls worked for me because
they loved me yes? This is the old one
school to be a fish, isn't it? I love this man, we're on our way to the top together."
“So then we had these four locations, these bosses, managers, it started to get out of control.
So, I narrowed it down to a special forces team of about 8 girls. So that's when I made the most money:
I had four girlfriends, my brother had four girlfriends; me and my brother, eight girls, we all lived in the
same house and all the women adored us and obeyed us, and at our peak we were making $400,000
a month.”
“My main girlfriends got maybe 20 percent of their money, I kept 80 percent of the money they
made. So they were mostly working for free, working for my love and attention. With the other girls it
was the other way around, I kept 20 percent, for all the help I offered, housing, writing."

"Women are sheep. Everyone says men are…everyone says women are complicated, no they
aren't. Women are extremely simple. Women are programmable, women are blank sheets of paper
and they are programmed. And either they are programmed by you as a man or they are programmed
by society..”
"Anyway, I don't think, I don't think I'm a mobster, so I told T., look, we're not mobsters. T. says
"Yes, we are". And I asked why? And he says "We are two big fighting brothers with undressed women
on the Internet, who own casinos, who drive around Bucharest, Romania in cars that exceed 2 million
dollars. Everyone is afraid of us. And if someone pissed us off at any point, even if we didn't mean to
screw them up, we can make one phone call and they can be in a ditch or lose any right to stay here if
I have visa issues we can kick them out of the country or arrest them for no reason and put them in jail
for a period of time. We're as mobsters as you can get." /"So I guess I'm a mobster, I didn't want a son
either.
So I was sitting there saying, I never intended to be an organized criminal."
"Romanian laws are very permissive."
"Romania is corrupt from head to toe, totally.."
From the contents of this content, there was undeniably a profound lack of respect for legal
norms and total indifference towards the protected social values shown by the defendant TAE, but also
the attitude of disregard towards women in general, whom he perceives only as a means to earn big
easily.
The judge could not agree with the defense's claim that these video contents show only one
character and could not be taken into account, as the defendant also shows the same attitude in
relations with the injured persons, and this is evident from the content of the conversations with these
found in the criminal investigation file.
Regarding the need to prevent the commission of another crime, purpose mentioned in the
enumeration in art. 202 para. 1 C.pr.pen., the judge held that the situation is considered where, through
his conduct prior to committing the deed that is the subject of the case, the defendant proves the real
risk of reiterating a criminal behavior. Moreover, it has been shown that it is not necessary to exist
Machine Translated by Google

reasonable suspicion or certainty that the defendant will commit crimes, but only a risk, deduced from
the concrete circumstances of the case. However, as it was shown, the defendants acted in a similar
manner with regard to the injured persons and the victims, the defendants TEA and TT initiating love
relationships with them, in order to then introduce them into the house where the other girls were also
and where they came under the supervision and coordination of the defendants RAL and NG, who
ensured that they produced photo and video content, which was later posted on the TikTok and
OnlyFans platforms for profit.
The judge of rights and freedoms thus assessed that the necessary requirements are met. and
proportionalT. provided by the procedural provisions, the measure of preventive arrest being necessary
for the purpose of ensuring the smooth conduct of the criminal process and preventing the commission
of another crime, is proportional to the gravity of the facts held against the defendants, in accordance
with with the provisions of art. 202 para. (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Regarding the necessity of the measure for the proper conduct of the criminal process, also
related to the defense's arguments in the sense that up to this moment the defendants T. III EA and TT
were at the disposal of the criminal investigation bodies, the judge took into account the fact that up to
this moment they qualified as witnesses in the case, but it cannot be ignored the possibility of them
evading investigations, leaving Romania and settling in countries that do not allow extradition,
considering their financial possibilities, but and public statements in this regard ("If I'm wrong and
England wants me in prison, I can fly with a Nigerian passport or an American one, or English or Polish,
or Estonian./I have bank accounts in 19 countries").
Also, also in the analysis of the necessity of the measure, the fact that the investigation is
ongoing was also taken into account, with people who could be aware of the criminal activities being
interviewed, especially since some of the victims are still under the law. and control of the defendants
TT and TEA and in close relations with the defendants RAL and NGM,
Or, taking into account the above-mentioned aspects, it was found that another preventive
measure is insufficient at this moment to ensure the achievement of the intended purpose. of art. 202
para. 1 Penal Code, namely the prevention of new crimes and the preservation of public order.
The judge of rights and liberties assessed that the achievement of the goal of preventing the
commission of other such acts, as well as that of removing a concrete state of danger for public order,
cannot be achieved only by taking the preventive measure of house arrest or control judicial.

Therefore, analyzing the possibilities of taking other less intrusive preventive measures against
the defendants in their freedom, in relation to the circumstances of the case at this procedural stage, in
relation to the necessary character of the measure of preventive arrest for the proper conduct of the
criminal process and for the protection of the public against the danger of repetition of extremely
serious acts, of the nature of those for which investigations are being carried out and against the
proportional nature of the measure with the gravity of the criminal charges against the defendants and
the intended purpose, the judge found the insufficient nature of such measures preventive. It was found
that, at this procedural moment, the ordering of a milder preventive measure is not appropriate, in the
judge's opinion, the personal circumstances of the defendants, as well as the concrete circumstances
of the acts held against them being incompatible with another preventive measure, which would not be
sufficient for the efficient achievement of the purposes provided for by art. 202 Criminal Procedure Code
Against this conclusion, the defendants T. III EA, TT, RA filed appeals
L. and NGM, the case being registered on the roll of the Bucharest Court of Appeal – Second
Criminal Section, on 05.01.2023, under no. 37100/3/2022.
In support of the formulated objections, the chosen defender of the appellants-accused T.
III EA and TT, requested their admission, the annulment of the conclusion of the Bucharest Court
and the rejection of the preventive arrest proposal formulated by the Directorate for the Investigation
of Criminal OffensesT. Organized and Terrorism, and in the alternative, if it is appreciated that for the
proper conduct of the criminal investigation it is necessary to take a preventive measure, to take into
account, with priorityT., the preventive measure of judicial control, appreciating that it is sufficient to
ensure the purpose of the preventive measures , as regulated by criminal procedural legislation.

In the development of the legal conditions in which a court can arrive at taking a preventive
measure, the legislator referred, first of all, to the existence of some evidence from which it can be
concluded that a criminal act was committed.
The defense appreciated that, from the manner in which the prosecution in this case was
carried out up to the present moment, the principle of loyalty in the administration of evidence was
totally violated by the prosecution. Given the special importance of the notion of evidence and
legality. of the administration of the respective evidence, considered that some clarifications related
to this matter are required. In this sense, he requested to note that, in the conditions where, from
11.04.2022, it was known that there were certain complaints regarding the activities of the two
defendants, that their homes were searched and certain assets have been seized, the continuation
of the criminal investigation in personam against them is not ordered until after more than 9
months, under the conditions in which the judicial practice of the European Court in Strasbourg,
but also the practice of the national courts, constantly enshrine mandatory. of the criminal
prosecution body that, immediately after the determination or identification of the person who
could be the subject of an investigation, to order the continuation of the criminal investigation in
personam against him, with bringing to the knowledge of the quality, in order to be able to exercise,
in actively, procedural rights. Regarding this aspect, he requested to note that, in an unauthorized
way, the criminal investigation body proceeded on 14.04.2022 to the anticipated hearing of two of
the injured persons, in the conditions where the defendants were not informed about the the
respective issues, putting them in the position of never having the possibility to ask questions to
the respective people. The respective statement is presented to the judge of rights and freedoms,
although the defendants were deprived of the possibility to get involved in the respective hearing
from the perspective of formulating questions, a statement which, according to the prosecution,
enjoys a presumption of absolute truth. He showed that at no time was the criminal investigation
body concerned with ensuring, even formally, a minimum of legal assistance or compliance with
legal procedures in such a situation, proceeding in the manner described previously speaking,
respectively the continuation of the criminal investigation in person very late, compared to the existing eleme
Furthermore, the defense requested to note the fact that even in the report with the
proposal for preventive arrest, there is talk about the existence, in the case file, of two forensic
psychiatric expert reports, but volume III of the criminal investigation file begins with a report of
extrajudicial expertise which, from the perspective of the defense, has a symbolic to non-existent
probative value. If it really was a forensic expert report, it could not be administered during the
criminal investigation phase in rem. This is an additional argument for which the continuation of
the criminal investigation in personam should have been ordered much earlier than it actually was.
On the other hand, he believes that there is talk of a judicial expert report in the case in order to
create a false impression, in front of the court, that there is evidence obtained under legal
conditions. which would indeed have a certain difficulty, although the reality is completely different.

Also from the perspective of the loyalty of the administration of the means of evidence, the
defense showed that several conversations made through the WhatsApp application made
available by the alleged injured persons were submitted to the case file, conversations about
which there is no certainty of authenticity. He showed that from the ways in which they were
collated in the report with the proposal for preventive arrest, it can be seen that they are not in a
logical sequence, that there are missing passages that could perhaps have been relevant from
the defense perspective, for the correct and exact understanding of what it was discussed between
the respective persons. He considered that it is not possible to arrive at the substantiation of a
solution of taking the preventive arrest measure of such gravity. based on evidence on which a
huge amount of uncertainty hangs. He showed that this disloyal approach. of the accusation, finds
its purpose in the conclusion challenged by the present judicial action. Thus, on tab no. 49 of the
disputed conclusion is transposed a whole series of communications, messages between AT and
P. I, but, as can be seen, the question is formulated at one time, and the answer, in some
situations, appears after 3 weeks, including the question from February 19 and answer from March
5, question from March 9 and answer from April 10. He considered that it is totally unjustified and
totally illegal to collate the respective conversations in such a way, putting behind a question from March,
Machine Translated by Google

an answer from April. He considered that, through this procedure, the judge of rights and liberties
on the merits was obviously misled.
For the previously stated reasons, the defense requested to look with great circumspection
at the methods of administration of the evidence in the criminal prosecution phase, which it
considered disloyal, a matter that led to the misleading of the trial court as well.
Regarding the material of the charges against the defendants, speaking of the crime of
human trafficking, the prosecutor took into account, as well as the modalities. of committing this
crime, from the multiple offered by the incrimination norm, first of all recruiting the respective
persons by misleading, by exercising acts of mental and physical violence, harboring and
transporting the respective persons for the purpose of sexual exploitation, forcing them to carry out
pornographic materials and being subjected to forced labor. Having drawn these coordinates, the
prosecution should have brought evidentiary elements to demonstrate each of the normative
variants or each of the hypotheses considered as modalities. of committing the crime. First of all,
regarding the obligation to pornographic manifestations, he showed
that, studying the file, he did not notice any pornographic manifestation, being exclusively
the statements of the injured persons, without any film, screenshots or captures from the networks
in the file of socialization, which proves the existence of a pornographic manifestation. In the last
instance, he assessed that there should have been proof of such a manifestation so that, in the
end, the magistrate in charge of analyzing the respective matters could assess whether, indeed, it
is a manifestation of a pornographic nature, considering that it is about such an abstract notion that
for two people, the same notion can have different content.

With regard to the recruitment of the injured persons, the defense considered that there is
no factual element from which to derive the idea that the persons in question were recruited. This
notion of recruitment, in the opinion of the defense, implies much more than simple communication
between certain people on a social network. However, each time, in the case of all the persons
mentioned, the prosecution itself admits that there were free discussions between the respective
persons, that at least twice, the initiative in starting the discussions belongs to the persons supposed
to be injured by committing the acts.
As for the exercise of acts of physical violence or mental coercion, it was shown that there
is no element of this nature, there is no medico-legal certificate or other medical documents, being
simply statements of injured persons that have never been proven . Regarding the transportation of
the
injured persons, the defense requested to note that absolutely all persons came on their own
initiative, by their own means or received money and bought their own plane ticket. Therefore, at
most one car transport can be detained, which, however, is not considered by the incrimination
norm.
With regard to sheltering the injured persons, the defense showed that this hypothesis
considered by the prosecution is not proven, in any way, in this case, as long as the persons in
question lived in a building from which they were free. full to act in any way.. He considers that no
means of proof can be extracted from which it would appear that there was a restriction of free
movement. Moreover, the prosecution does not even consider deprivation of liberty as a possible
concurrent crime.
The defense showed that the legal norm considered by the prosecution refers to a purpose
for which it would be exercised. the respective activities - with a view to sexual exploitation. As far
as this sexual exploitation is concerned, first of all, in order to be able to hold the respective
accusation against these defendants, the prosecution would have had to prove when they,
personally, would have done acts of a nature to characterize the exploitation of the injured persons.
By the fact that they live at a distance of 2 km and that they meet once or twice in certain time
intervals, it is difficult to imagine that these matters can characterize the content of the exploitation option.
Regarding the assumption of submission to the execution of a job, the defense showed
that, according to the provisions of art. 4 para. 2 of the Labor Code, the term forced labor denotes
any work or service imposed on a person, under threat or for which the person has not
Machine Translated by Google

expressed consent. He also showed that from the depositions of the alleged injured persons,
it can be observed that there are no elements of threat and there are no elements that could
result from coercion or the absence of consent for the performance of the respective activities,
which were strictly in favor of the individual, and not in favor of the
defendants . Next, regarding the statements of the four injured persons, the defense
showed that, by the very virulence of the attack that they unleashed against the two defendants,
following a careful analysis, it can be concluded that the claims made by the representatives
of the prosecutor's office through the proposal for preventive arrest. Thus, from the testimony
of the UA injured person, it follows that other people with whom she interacted proposed to her
to make video recordings to post on TikTok. Moreover, the first post on TikTok of this person
is from 10.03.2022, given that during that period the defendant T.
A. was not in the country. With regard to the ways in which that post was reached, T.a
requested that it be taken into account that the injured person stated that "B suggested that I
go live with her on TikTok, suggested that I do this work". Therefore, none of these so-called
activities of persuasion were carried out by any of the two defendants. He also showed that
this statement is repeated by the same injured person who says "although initially I never
agreed to take pictures or be posT. on OnlyFans, in the end I was convinced by B". Thus, the
defense appreciated, and this statement excludes any involvement on the part of the two
defendants in making the alleged posts on the TikTok network.
Regarding the accusation of rape held in relation to this injured person, the defense
specified that from the ways in which the injured person presented the course of the accusation,
it can be seen that even the trial court does not consider the proposal of preventive arrest
justified in relation to this crime , recommending the criminal investigation bodies to continue
the investigations, it being implausible that a person could be raped in the .....t Hotel - one of
the most guarded and well-known places in Bucharest, especially in the conditions where the
injured person together with other people waited for the defendant's arrival for more than two
hours. Also from the perspective of the relationship between the two persons, with regard to
the second accusation of rape held against the defendant TA, the defense showed that this
too is not based on anything other than the simple statement of the injured person that the said
action had taken place, which would have been accompanied by certain acts of violence,
which the injured person herself states could be part of a sexual game. If the injured person
himself raises such questions about the manner in which the respective report was carried
out, if this action had really existed, there are no evidentiary elements from which it can be
concluded that the respective crime was actually committed. In order to have an even more
accurate picture of the degree of involvement or how traumatic this experience was for the
injured person, the UA showed the court a passage from her statement, in the sense that at
one point "we, the girls, did not I offered A. a sexual act". He requested to note that the injured
person does not remember when the matter in question took place, from which it can be easily
deduced that that moment did not have a particular impact. He appreciated that the reference
to this passage from the injured person's statement leads to the creation of an accurate picture
of how involved that person was and of the alleged impact that the defendant's actions had on
him. The defense shows that it is impossible for him to imagine how, at the moment when an
evil happens to you, of whatever nature it may be, it is so easy for you to pass over it that you
cannot give any concrete data about it.
The defense showed that from the present evidence. at this term, it follows that during
the period in which this person said that he was forced, that he was in an impossible situation.
to express his consent freely, this had an activity. intense on Instagram. He stated that he
managed to take pictures from her Instagram profile, in which she posed in a casual manner,
incompatible with retaining any trace of coercion on her.
With regard to the injured person GE A, he stated that this person had been active on
OnlyFans since he lived in the USA, as can be seen from the transcript of the conversations
on WhatsApp, if indeed they are real or in accordance with reality.. It is discussed in those
conversations about the circumstance that the injured person wants a new account, on which
to post his activities which, according to the Public Ministry, were activities of a pornographic nature. A
Machine Translated by Google

showed that if this activiT. was continued or not after the moment 04.05.2022, when this person
arrived in the country, it is difficult to find out, considering that the file lacks any evidence that this
person really posted certain materials on the respective network and, moreover much, that this
matter would have occurred at the insistence of one of the two defendants.
Also, from the same deposition of the injured person, the following statement results: "I
don't realize if during this time, (respectively the 6 days he stayed in Romania), I was deprived of
my liberty. because T. was telling me that I can leave whenever I want". Thus, the defense showed
that it does not believe that the measure of preventive arrest can be ordered for certain
manifestations that even the injured person cannot characterize as being of a nature to represent
any limitation of his free movement and it seems to him totally devoid of any legal support. He
showed that he paid a lot of attention to this deposition because, the very key to the accusation
represents. of these depositions offer an extraordinary number of arguments of innocence in favor
of the defendants and especially the defendant TT.
Moreover, regarding the threat to which this person would have been subjected, he showed
that this threat consists in the fact that: "they will publish my real name, the names of my parents,
the phone number I use". This so-called threat does not fulfill the most primitive form of
apprehension of the crime of threat or of the characterization of an act of threat. In this context,
publishing the real name of a person or their phone number is not an illegal fact with which the
injured person can be threatened. This person's perception of the notion of threat is totally wrong,
conditions in which the whole statement must be seen as a huge exaggeration.

Also, the defense showed that the injured person GE A uses, in his deposition, to
characterize the defendant TT, the notion of a loverboy. He assessed that this matter, together
with the description of a new form of human trafficking, reflects either an impermissible involvement
of the criminal prosecution body that recorded the respective statements, or an above-average
intelligence of this person, who has the representation of the notion of human trafficking and of
"loverboy", from a legal point of view and uses the respective notions appropriately, an aspect
incompatible with the retention of a constraint or pressure on the respective person, likely to affect,
in any way, their freedom of action and decision.

As regards this injured person, the defense showed that at the time of the search on
11.04.2022, as can be seen from the content of the search report, there was no forceful entry into
the respective building, an aspect that proves , once again, that these people had a freeT. full of
movement and action.
Regarding the statement of the injured person AS A., the defense requested that it be
noted that the alleged exploitation of this person for the benefit of the two defendants, asserted
only by her, is proven by the fact that 50% of the money obtained was transferred to the account
of co-defendant G. But, since she herself transfers that amount of money, it is obvious that no one
could have been the author. on how this person manages his assets or money. The reality of the
discussions and transfers between the respective persons is not known, but this simple statement
is sufficient, without further analysis of the accounts, since the injured person is the one who made
the transfers, willingly. There is no argument to show that this injured person had no control over
the said money. Particularly relevant in the testimony of this injured person was her account of an
event from 28.10.2021, during which another injured person, PCD, requested the support of the
police bodies, by calling 112, because he would was subjected to acts of violence. It was assessed
that the account of the injured person AS, regarding the respective event, is extraordinarily
negative. This incident took place, according to the statement, before the injured person AS moved
into that house, and thus it is not understood what would be the reason why a person who
witnesses an event that he presents in such a way, after that event , to move into that house.

At the same time, the defense showed that this injured person, AS A., offers new values to
the notion of human trafficking, quoting from her statement: "somehow I felt constrained by T. not
to give up", but without detailing what means "somehow". This word is both
Machine Translated by Google

relative, so volatile, as content, that it is incompatible with the notion of evidence and elements of
certainty to support that, indeed, this person was trafficked. This person's full freedom of action is
also demonstrated by the content of his deposition, given before the criminal investigation body, in
the sense in which he reports that he traveled to the city, that he went shopping, that he had an
absolutely natural social life, of a nature to exclude any element that could characterize a coercion
or an impairment of the freedom of will of the person in question. Regarding the statement of the
injured person PC, the defense requested that it be observed that the event of 28.10.2021 is
not presented in her deposition. Moreover, he showed that, although there was this incident, which
ended with the intervention of the police, he does not understand why this injured person has not
said since then that he is being trafficked and subjected, against his will, to doing certain activities.
He considered that there is no logic in the conduct of the detained activities. Next, he stated that
from the content of the conversations on WhatsApp, if indeed they are real, it appears that the injured
person agreed to post materials on OnlyFans at the suggestion of Yasmina, and in a discussion with
co-accused NG, the person the injured party expressly states: "Thank you from the bottom of my
heart, I won't disappoint you, I promise! Wow, I'm crying with happiness!". These matters are
incompatible with the notion of a person trafficked or subjected to certain activities against his will.

Regarding the statement given by GE, he showed that it was a discussion between the two
in which she claimed the sum of 50,000 euros to send the defendant T. nude photos of her, and from
her testimony it follows that, if at the beginning he sat to think about the proposal made, the only
condition set, in the end, was to have his face blurred. Thus, this kind of manifestation was absolutely
accepted by the person in question who, in exchange for a sum of money, very easily consented to
the production of such material, which he had no problem making available to the defendant.

In conclusion, the defense appreciated that the analysis of the concrete content of the
depositions of the injured persons, however likely it may seem to create a feeling of public opprobrium
or a negative emotion towards the defendants, the concrete content of these statements lead to the
idea that the essential constituent elements for the existence are missing the crime of human trafficking.
Thus, the defense showed that there is no evidence against the defendants, the judge of
rights and freedoms from the Bucharest Court did not have the grounds to form his reasonable
opinion that the acts held against the defendants were committed and he opines that he is the most
measure to provide a homogeneous picture of this file, considering that he was a lawyer in the file
since April 11, 2022.
He showed that on April 11, 2022, the named EG, in the discussions with his mother and his
boyfriend, and not how, in a totally wrong way, the prosecutor's office is trying to accredit in order to
form an image of her morals. complete, her boyfriend to whom she said "honey" and that she misses
him, they had a conversation on a private chat group in which she confessed to them that she would
like to leave Romania, confessed to them the fact that he changed his plane ticket and that he lied
to her that he would be in England and that, in fact, he would be in Romania, that the country is very
beautiful, that things would not be so bad in relation to the state of armed conflict, only that the T.
brothers do not have the behavior and are not what was expected. Next, it shows that the said EG
was very relaxed and relaxed in this conversation. At that moment, the mother and her boyfriend
went into a state of terrible panic and induced her to think that she was in imminent danger and
advised her to contact the Embassy or the police. She stated several times that no one monitors
their phones, that she is with another friend from the Republic of Moldova, named A., and that it is
good that she came to help her, as well as that she does not know what it happens there, but he
doesn't like it much. At the time when the authorities in England notified by the beloved EG informed
the authorities in Romania, there was a terrible argument between the said EG and his mother in
which she reproached him with the following: " Go to hell. Because of you I am in this situation, I was
going very quietly to England, now I have to sit and give an account to the authorities, now you have
put me in danger, I just want to go back to England."
That being the case, he saw that this is how this big file started, namely with a phone call
from the American Embassy given to the authorities in Romania and because the named person is
an American citizen supposed to be seized on the territory of Romania, a big search was ordered
Machine Translated by Google

home searches at the home of the T. brothers, on which occasion he participated in caliT. of a
lawyer to ensure the legality of search documents.
That night, the named EG, the named UA and all the persons present at the residence of
the T. brothers were questioned on the occasion of the entry of the law enforcement forces into the
building. At that time, the defense went home together with the T. brothers in caliT. of witnesses,
during the search, mobile goods with extraordinarily high values, namely sums of money, laptops
and various devices were recovered. Since that moment, seeing the suspicion of the crime of rape,
because the criminal prosecution in rem had been started for this crime and for the seizure of some
people, as well as the aspects submitted by the prosecutor, the defendants notified the Prosecutor's
Office attached to the Buftea Court with the resolution of two complaints criminal charges filed
against the said UA and GE for misleading the judicial bodies and insisted to the public prosecutor's
office that any documentation be made available to them or to proceed with computer searches for
the release of the witnesses' property or that they will be available with any other information for
the fair settlement of this case.
Since April, no activity has been carried out, thus, in December, seeing that they still have
the quality of witnesses, that an indescribable mediatized event took place in April with devastating
consequences for the persons of the defendants, since the daughter of the defendant TT was
refused to enroll in the American school on the grounds that the press does not match the profile of
the school as a student, because their bank accounts were blocked, because they were created an
absolutely ugly image worldwide, the defense he kept insisting with addresses and with returns to
the Department of Investigation of Criminal OffensesT. Organized and Terrorism for the fair
settlement of the case, in which sense it also submitted a memorandum on December 13, through
which it showed the damage caused to them for caliT. of witnesses for about 8 months, with the
assets seized and the image ruined.
On December 29, the same bodies, in the same house and against the same persons,
carried out a new computer search where they picked up part of the same goods seized in April
and handed over during some computer searches, as well as watches worth of millions of euros,
the same bodies seized 11 cars and then four more cars, after the defendants were in custody,
cars that were in a rented garage to stay during the winter, pressure was put on the amounts de
milI.e, when in the criminal investigation file there were only two statements of the named C and A..
In this sense, the defense stated that the named C and A. are persons whom the defendants have
known for more than 2 years, people who, throughout this period, had the possibility to formulate
countless criminal complaints against them or at least on April 11, 2022 when they had the
possibility, when the event was so publicized, to appear at the prosecutor's office and make
statements to confirm the commission of acts provided for and punished by the criminal law and
acquire the status of injured persons in the case. However, they waited for the months of October
and November to pass so that, being called by the criminal investigation body, they would give
statements and on this occasion it could be observed that, in fact, they have the quality of injured
persons. Going over this aspect, he showed that a lot of people from the T. brothers' entourage
were called throughout the summer in an attempt to obtain unfavorable evidence against them in
order to form a criminal investigation file that could be sent to court, which did not happen.

Also, the defense stated that it insisted on formulating requests by which it requested the
just resolution of the case and the closure of the file, because they were aware of the fact that they
had not been charged with any crime, in order to later obtain these two statements on the occasion
of who would have been born, on December 29, 2022, the opportunity to be made aware of the
quality of suspect, and later of the quality of defendant in five minutes, after 12 hours of searches
and to be put in a position to give statements on 17 volumes of criminal prosecution material, which
they had never seen because they had witness status.
That being the case, the defense appreciated that it is necessary to clarify the moment
when this opportunity was born, because the defense will refer to the conclusion pronounced by
the judge of rights and freedoms on 30.12.2022, which he understood to attacks on illegal groundsT.
and unfounded and in which it was held, on the one hand, that the concrete social danger for order
Machine Translated by Google

public exists, it is current and that letting the defendants go free would represent a danger in
this sense.
At the same time, the defense assessed that it is necessary to clarify whether the prosecution
presented any new evidence or any reprehensible act against the defendants starting from 11.04.2022
and up to 29.12.2022, the defense claiming that it did not and does not know what stopped the criminal
investigation body on 11.04.2022 to change their status from witness to suspect and later to defendant
that evening, considering that they had the same two statements, respectively the statement of the
named AU and the statement of the named EG, the search was carried out recently, being more
opportune at that time, because it would have been justified.
With regard to the evidence that formed the reasonable suspicion retained by the judge of
rights and freedoms, the defense showed that the DVR containing the footage captured by the
surveillance cameras of the T. brothers' house on April 11, 2022, and not on this at the moment the IT
search is not completed, although the DVR was returned already in the summer. In this sense, he
showed that from these recordings it follows that the girls entered and left the house when they wanted,
accompanied or unaccompanied, that the guard did not carry a weapon and that the girls were not
intimidated or threatened with weapons, that the security personnel did not have the objective the
protection of any person or to prevent any person from entering or leaving, but only the real estate
objective. That being the case, he assessed that it is necessary to clarify why these evidences are not
in the case file and, in addition to Mr. GCI lawyer, he assessed that from this point of view the
prosecution is at least unfaithful.
The defense also showed that both the defendant TT and the defendant TA, on April 11, 2022,
continuously requested the prosecutor to watch on the DVR as soon as possible that they would be
immediately allowed to go home, because a to consT. that no one was seized, and since it was night,
the prosecutor, in good faith, informed them that he had no way, but that he would administer this
evidence as well. Next, he showed that the defense addressed the Directorate of Investigation of
Criminal OffensesT. Organized and Terrorism to administer, above all, this evidence that was likely to
shed light on the charge from that period of seizing people, later transformed into the crime of human
trafficking.
At the same time, the defense requested to consider the notion of possibly immoral things in a
society. increasingly decadent and, in caliT. by legal professionals, on issues related to illegality, namely
where immorality ends from a social point of view and where illegality begins, for which today the court
was called to check whether it plans reasonable suspicion on the commission of certain acts and
punished by the criminal law from the point of view of legality.

Moreover, the defense requested to analyze the distinction between character and person, a
matter which the judge of the case rejected ab initio stating that everything posted by the defendants
on social media was motivated by the fact that it would be free of opinion and are guilty of opinion crime.

Also, the defense requested to consider the notion of capacity restricted by exercise or lack of
capacity. of exercise and full exercise capacity, because, on this occasion, he refers to the fact that the
trial court, in an absolutely illegal and impermissible manner, arrogated to itself the right to remove from
the case file or to remove the meaning the statements of the named P. I and AB showing that, although
these two statements are favorable to the defendants, they will not be considered by the Court motivated
by the fact that they are still under the influence or power of the defendants. Or, as long as there is no
court decision banning these persons regarding their exercise capacity or as long as there is no medical
document expressing a mental state affected by any possible illness, the court must corroborate the
statements given by people who enjoy capaT. full exercise with all the evidence and to analyze to what
extent it can verify or corroborate it, but it cannot reject a statement ab initio motivated by the fact that
the people who gave the statements could be influenced by the defendants, without there being any
evidence In this regard. It shows that she is in an absurd situation in the sense that the criminal
investigation body would tell a person that she was raped and she would deny it, but she is passed off
as a victim because the criminal investigation body said so.

The defense also showed that it was held that the defendant TT had a connection with the said
EG and two other injured persons and after 8 months, they realized that they may have been injured
persons and the crime of human trafficking against the named EG who stayed in Romania for 6 days,
which is why he believes that it is necessary to clarify when the crime of human trafficking began and
when this crime was consummated.
In addition, the defense requested to take into account the conversation carried out through the
WhatsApp application between the defendant TT and EG submitted to the case file, from which it can
be very clearly observed that the loverboy method is not supported, because the defendant TT he was
very distant and very cold and very indifferent, and she sent him hearts, icons and signs of affection,
she told him that she wanted to leave America because it is a decadent country and where principles
are no longer respected. and wants to travel, see the world, at which point the defendant simply asked
her: "Are you sure you want to come to Europe?", and she answered: "yes, I'm single". Next, he
showed that the defendant sends him a PrintScreen with his Revolut card to purchase a ticket, and the
application will ask him if he understands or not to confirm the transaction and it will come to Romania.
Against this circumstance, the defense appreciated that it is necessary to clarify whether the loverboy
method can be supported.
Next, the defense showed that the injured person EG stated that, on the occasion of December
2021, when she met the defendant TT for the first time in the territory of the United States of America,
they would have lived together for a week and would have maintained relations sexual assault and that
she was strangled by him, but that the next day she did not remember whether she requested it or not,
and when she came to Romania she forgot that she was strangled and again had sexual relations in
Romania with the defendant TT, on which occasion she remembered that, in fact, she was also
strangled in America. That being the case, it is necessary to clarify who and under the influence of what
exactly is in the file, if the named P. I and AB are under the influence of the defendants, the other two
girls under the influence of what exactly they are. To confirm his claims, the defense requested to check
volume 4, page 10 of the criminal investigation file, where the defendant TT tells "Dear" who is actually
called EG that: I'm not obsessed, it was very simple.", and she replied: "Ha, ha, ha, I'm so ashamed,
"
although I have a kind of affection for obsessive bullies." Therefore, this is the one who came to
Romania self-invited, she was not taken from the airport by the defendant TT, so the crime of human
trafficking cannot be apprehended in the form of transportation from the airport to her home, she stayed
for six days and this person the injured party also stated two extremely important issues, in the
defense's opinion, namely that on April 10, after E-day, on a Sunday, she was alone in the house with
the injured person UA and they started to tell about the fact that they do not like the home of the
defendants T., which is not supported either by the alleged sequestration of persons. This can never
be, as long as she was alone in the house, with the phone, an aspect confirmed by her mother in the
discussion we had at the time related to the Embassy. Moreover, she cannot maintain that she was
guarded either, because she stated that she was alone with the injured person UA.

The injured person EG also stated in the statement that the defendants would have held certain
conferences on the territory of the United States of America where there were hundreds of very rich
men who were willing to pay 7000 euros for the ticket to listen to them. However, a person who has
thousands of euros, who holds seminars with hundreds of participants, who pays 7000 euros for a
ticket, as the injured person claimed, does not need the injured person EG to come to Romania for six
days , to provide work for them and to share the sums of money. As a consequence, the defense
appreciated that it is necessary to clarify what activities. criminal case was detained by the prosecutor's
office because he does not identify himself and does not understand her.
With regard to the immoral part T., namely that they held each other's necks when they were in
love and that the injured person EG had an appetite for harassers, an aspect declared by her herself,
that there were parties in which the defense would not participate, the defense showed that these they
are of an immoral nature, but where is the criminal act, if two agree that one will make OnlyFans, and
the other will provide a management team and share their income, and, wanting to go in the image of
the prosecutor's office, the defense does not find the crime . Where is the crime, maybe it would be
born at a later time when the taxes are not paid and the activities are not legally registered at
Machine Translated by Google

The Trade Register and the taxes from this type of activity are not paid, but this is a world
phenomenon, a world sport.
Contrary to the opinion of the Bucharest Court, it showed that no one is impressed by
OnlyFans, on which, in 17 volumes of criminal investigation, the prosecutor's office did not present
the pornographic material even in one tab, but the pornographic material is known from many
photographic plates with character pornographically sent by the injured person UA to the defendant TT.
Thus, the defense showed the court why, being angry with the defendant TA, he made the
statement about the injured person UA that he discovered the fact that she was a prostitute and that
he did not leave her alone because she was taking drugs, there were two conversations or
discussions in this regard from the person injured UA and in connection with this. Thus, in a
conversation in which the injured person AU told the defendant TA that "God made me know you
and that you saved me", he was referring to drugs because he had taken them the wrong way in the
UK territory, as well as the statement found in volume 1, page 265 of the case file, where the witness
AM A. testified: "During the summer, in the villa, A. came a little closer to me and started to open up
to me, telling me that he was raped, which she told me with a smile on her face, and I noticed several
notes in her phone with certain amounts of money that she received, amounts that were in euros
and with the hotel room numbers, and from here I deduced that she was sleeping with men for
money, which she also admitted to me."
Regarding these aspects, he showed that the defense is interested in describing the moral
profile of these two injured persons because they are the quintessence of this file and that he does
not want to refer to the other two injured persons who gave forced statements, because one of she
already had an account on OnlyFans, she had been strangled and has an appetite for aggressive
men and she came to Romania, lying to her family, declaring herself to be part of a disorganized
family and that she was a rebellious and difficult child, and the the second injured person, likewise
came to Romania without notifying his family, has a past with narcotics, declared that he was saved,
there is also reasonable suspicion that he has propensities for prostitution activities, which have not
been confirmed, but he has reasonable suspicion to do it, given that it has evidence unlike the
prosecution.
The defense also showed that, as can be seen, the loverboy theory as regards the injured
person UA is not supported, asking the court to consider volumes 11 and 12 of the criminal
investigation, where, in all the arguments and on the tab 24 and on page 28 and further vol. 12, the
injured person A. is the one who came back and showed the defendant AT how much she loves him
and how much she is subject to him, and the latter made the statement that "Now you your luggage
and leave.", after which the injured person told UA "I'm sorry for making you stupid.", in turn, the
defendant replied: "You'll do well, bitch." Next, the injured person AU asked him: "Are you serious? I
can not. I'm going to pack my bags, as you told me, my king.", to which the defendant replied: "Good,
I'm tired of your attitude. I'm being very fair with you, but it's a waste of time.” Afterwards, it always
came back like this: "Baby, what are you doing? I'm sorry if I pissed you off today, I missed you, I'm
glad I saw you today.
I love you.", passage found on page 75 of volume 12.
In connection with the alleged crime of rape, the defense showed that it submitted to the
case file of the substantive court photographic plates from which it appears that the injured person
UA, in the evening of March 2021, arrived to Mariott, an hour and a half T. earlier than the defendant
TA, together with A. and P. I, and the most important thing is that she was sending him pictures
extremely scantily clad with a glass of wine on her thighs, showing her waiting for him to come to the
hotel room. However, this evidence in which the injured person UA did not know that "she was going
to be raped" is corroborated with the messages on the WhatsApp group that the girls had with the
defendants, messages in which the defendant TA showed very clearly that evening that he wanted
tonight, girls, keep your pants " to make love with the three, and the injured person has a party
up." and transmitted to the latter: he was laughing. It shows that U A was violated in this way.
Because the judge of rights and liberties of the Bucharest Court, indeed, did not consider that there
was evidence regarding this crime, the defense will not point either in order not to waste time .
Moreover, he showed that since April 2021 the defendants have been trying to do something in this file, that since
December 29 they have been detained and only last night they were able to find out the reason for the detention, that they did not
Machine Translated by Google

they were able to give statements in front of the Court because they did not have the file in front of them
and that, until this procedural moment, they could not speak.
He showed that the trial court also held that the attitude of the defendants TEA and TT regarding
women and the fact that they would work for them represents a concrete social danger, thus, the defense
showed that on social media platforms a character and not a person, who hyperbolizes, exaggerates, they
said they have 34 cars, and in reality. they had 13, that they do certain businesses, but in fact there were
two searches about which nothing was found and there was never any suspicion that they were dealing in
drugs or other matters. In the online environment, the characters promote some ideas to attract a number
of followers and for the platforms in question to support them and pay them large sums of money.

Regarding the extrajudicial expert reports, the defense showed that it is necessary to clarify how it
is possible to use in the prosecution an extrajudicial expert report that they call a judicial expert report and
which, in fact, is nothing. Next, he showed that, in reality, these two injured persons went to a psychologist
and asked the latter to evaluate them, and this constitutes evidence in the file.

That being the case, for equal treatment, regarding the public opprobrium, documents to this effect
being submitted to the case file, the defense requested to note that online, on January 5, these defendants
have 70% of the claims from the whole world, and, in caliT. lawyer, for several days, on all social networks,
including on the mobile phone, he receives thousands of messages with the following content: "The T.
brothers are innocent. Do something and take them off.” The press, from what they had at hand from the
press release of the Directorate of Investigation of Criminal OffensesT. Organized, she noticed the fact that
the file is very thin and everyone wonders what exactly is behind this file, so that there is no longer any
offense of opinions, the concrete social danger has also disappeared and, it returns and shows, very
important for taking the measure of preventive arrest, when the concrete social danger appeared,
considering that the defendants were not committing crimes on the street, they were collecting them from
America and England. Next, he showed that, for the injured person UA who
stayed for six weeks, an injured person EG who stayed for six days in Romania and two other girls
who have not spoken to the defendants for 2 years, abusively, the defendants did not only that they are
detained and arrested, but their assets worth tens of millions of euros are also seized, which is why two
questions arise, namely how many millions of girls they exploited throughout how many thousands of years
to make such a fortune and, from the statements of four people, about whom the moral profile was made,
the defense wonders how the existence of acts foreseen and punished by the criminal law can be retained .

He also showed that he disapproves of the dialogue conducted by the defendant TA with the injured
person UA, but he disapproves of it equally on both sides, because they are fetishes, quarrels between
lovers who understand how to live their love life in a way that adultsT.a he doesn't understand how to do it.
Moreover, he wants to show that there is no evidence from which the reasonable suspicion regarding the
commission of crimes can result and on the other hand, in his capacity as a lawyer, the defense did not
hear about art. 381 proc.pen code regarding the preliminary hearing.
On the other hand, he appreciated that it is necessary to clarify how exactly the injured persons
were able to affirm these matters and leave, and today the defendants are in a state of arrest when the
position towards them is not even known anymore and for so long while the injured person EG was arguing
with his mother who reproached him for calling the Embassy, that she did not want to harm the defendants,
that she only wanted to reach America. Thus, he specified that it is no longer known what the position of
the injured person is, an aspect that can be observed and requested the court to verify the discussions. with
his mother and his lover in which the injured person stated that she is free, and her mother tells her that she
is unconscious, that she is in danger, to call the embassy, the police and the authorities, that they are
human traffickers.
Regarding the loverboy method, the defense showed that this method is suspicious, given that the
injured person UA gave the copy-paste statement, as the defendant TA shows, on a podcast the statement
that the loverboy method is used, or, in relation to a person who does not know exactly how he arrived in
Romania or whether he was trafficked or not, it is necessary to clarify how this injured person managed to
memorize with a comma the method described by
Machine Translated by Google

to the defendant. It is clear that she was given that podcast before giving her statement to remember how
things were.
With regard to the personal circumstances retained by the trial court, it assessed that the aspects
retained are hasty and illegal, considering that it was shown that it cannot be ignored that the defendants TT
and AT would have been previously investigated on the territory of Great Britain for crimes of violence. Or, in
his understanding, this equates to the fact that if a person makes a complaint in an abusive manner and the
criminal investigation bodies classify the file, it will train a possible continuous criminal behavior, aspects that
cannot be accepted. The trial court had to apply the letter of the law, put the disgust aside and refer to the
evidence, the facts, the accusations and see that the accusation is the task of the prosecutor's office in the
criminal process and take a legal and thorough measure.

Last but not least, he showed that a lot of female people wanted to declare in favor of the defendants
how nice he behaves and especially that the defendant TT is a gentleman, but he submitted to the case file
the public statement of BD stating about the defendant TT that he was really a child and without any problem
of aggression, he also submitted an email from a person from Pitesti who called yesterday and wanted to give
a notarial statement and the notary did not want to receive it, informing him that the prosecutor's office must to
give statements, in which it is shown that she approached the defendant TT if he deals with the chat because
he needed money, and he told her that he does not deal with such things, as well as the statement of a singer
from Bulgaria established in Constanÿa and who showed that they had a nice relationship with the defendant
TT, but that he could not continue it due to the fact that they were both very busy and that he is a gentleman,
has a vast culture and that it seems to him a great injusticeT. to what is happening to him.

The defense also stated that, as can also be seen, that what was shown by the lawyer GCI is also
supported, in the sense that the injured person UA always left the house and did a lot of sports, that he always
notified the defendant TA and that, indeed, he was running at night. He also appreciates that the manner in
which all the statements of the two injured persons EG and UA and a discussion held between the defendant
NG and a lady owner at ..... regarding the existence of a search and regarding the evidence. Next, in order to
complete the moral profile of the two persons, the defense requested to take into account that in the case file
there are
numerous photographic plates with pornographic content sent by the injured person UA to the
defendant TA, so that, as long as the injured person has posed in a person who does not have these abilities,
appreciates that he cannot make his body material with pornographic content against the one who, apparently,
would abuse it.

Therefore, out of four contrary statements and several favorable ones, he showed that there were only
two statements left by the injured persons EG and UA from the months of October and November which have
nothing to do with the defendants for at least two years and which are simple statements, there being no
discussions , evidence, footage, messages or phone calls.
In the end, the defense requested the admission of the appeal, to consT. that there is no criminal
prosecution file, there is no evidence from which the court can form its reasonable suspicion that the defendants
are guilty of acts provided for and punished by the Romanian criminal law and that all their opening and the
defense be accepted in the sense that there was and there is an interest in the case to find out the truth, with
the mention of the fact that the court's theory cannot be supported either, that, according to 223 par. (1) Penal
Code, the defendants could escape, as the hearing prosecutor stated that he bases his request for issuing a
warrant of preventive arrest only on the provisions of art. 223 para. (2) Pen proc. code as a material error of
the previous request. in the first phase.
Related to the provisions of art. 223 para. (2) Code proc.pen, appreciates that it cannot be argued that there is
a danger that they will evade criminal prosecution when, the defendant TA, knowing about the fact that the
criminal prosecution in rem has been started at the complaint of the injured person UA and that it targets him
absolutely, from April to December, at least six times he left the territory of Romania and returned.

Thus, the defense showed, in order not to turn this trial into a public trial and to be fair and to protect
the criminal procedural interest of the proper conduct of the criminal investigation, but also fundamental human
rights, the defense requested at most the preventive measure A
Machine Translated by Google

judicial control, the application of a measure to satisfy the rigor of the prosecutor's office in order to show
public opinion that it is protected and for the defendants to formulate their defense and enjoy the status they
really have, already having their image ruined.
The chosen defender of the appellants - defendants RAL and NGM, in essence, requested, by
referring to art. 204 para. 12 of the Civil Code, admitting the appeals, abolishing the challenged decision and,
rejudging, to order the rejection of the proposal to take the measure of preventive detention, considering that
the challenged decision is illegal, since the conditions provided for by art. 223 para. 2 of the Criminal Code,
on the two levels, namely reasonable suspicions and danger to public order.

He verified that from the present factual situations. the prosecutor's office cannot find any evidence
to justify the reasonable suspicion that the defendants constituted a criminal group.
Administrative relations or hierarchical work relations, regardless of the activity carried out, cannot generate
reasonable suspicion as long as the video chat activity is lawful and profitable.

He requested that it be noted that two of the injured persons, P. I and ABG, together with AM, called
Smurf, at a given moment took care of the other girls, sometimes accompanying them where they moved,
which is why he wonders why these two girls, who apparently were supervising the others, are not part of the
organized criminal group. The idea of a group would no longer be sustainable if two girls who are seized and
exploited, because they actually live in the T. brothers' ..., were part of that group and, moreover, those girls
shared the rent among themselves , as it results from all the statements that are in the criminal investigation
file.
Also, the statements of these three girls, two of whom have the title of injured person, without
understanding why the prosecutor's office assigned them this title, contradict those of the injured persons in
the present case, the opinion of the defense being that there is no no kind of constitution and no kind of
organized criminal group.
Regarding the crime of human trafficking, it was shown that there is only evidence that disproves the
accusation, none that justifies the reasonable suspicion of committing the act, as there are no two normative
variants supported by the accusation consisting of transportation and sheltering.

The defense requested that it be observed that UA and GE A were, in the opinion of the prosecution,
forced to be transported. from America and respectively England to Romania under the conditions in which
they came alone and of their own free will. Not to mention the sheltering, also by coercion, in .... of the T.
brothers.
Regarding the other injured persons A SA. and P. CD, made brief references, considering that his
colleagues have already spoken about them.
Returning to the injured persons P. I and ABG, he showed that he does not understand why they
qualify as injured persons in this case, considering their statements given in April and the notarial statements
given yesterday in favor of the defendants. He asked to take into account the fact that all these girls were
partners in the video chat activity, being co-interested and receiving half. from the amount received,
considering that the thesis of coercion is excluded, highlighting the patrimonial interest that the girls in the
villa had, given the fact that the video chat activity is an extremely onerous one, there is no synonymous
relationship between a possible immoral character of these activities and the illegal nature of the acts impuT.,
such nudiT. on the platforms of special T., not being incriminated. In addition, it requests that it be observed
that the evidence shows close friendships between the cerceT persons. and the alleged injured persons.

He claimed that all these accusations are based only on some statements and on some truncated
conversations transcribed by the prosecutor's office and from the statements of some allegedly injured persons.
He showed that these statements were taken in April 2022 and without carrying out any other act of criminal
prosecution other than two statements, a danger to public order suddenly appears, a danger so serious that
the prosecutor's office decides to detain people and proposes arrest their preventive.

He considered that the danger to public order must be assessed concretely, starting from the exact
contribution of the two girls to the commission of the alleged acts, i.e. from the actions
Machine Translated by Google

or the inactions imputed to them. because only these explain the seriousness of the facts or not and the measure that
can be taken or not against you.
He also considered that in the particular case of the two girls, there is not even an indication of the negative
impact that release T. it would have on civil society, the simple association with the image of the T. brothers in some
work relationships not being sufficient.
Equally, the defense requested to note that the personal circumstances of the defendants, i.e. they have higher
education, they have no criminal record, make them eligible for the investigation in the state of freedom.

He also requested to observe the mental state of the accused RA which, under the given conditions,
categorically cannot present a danger to public order. In the alternative, the defense
showed that if it will be appreciated that it is necessary to protect the public interest at this procedural stage, by
referring to art. 204 para. 12 with 11 Criminal Procedure Code, requests the placement of the defendants under the
measure of judicial control, with all the guarantees provided by art. 215 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and in the event
that it will be appreciated that a more severe control is imposed on the defendants, requests to refer to art. 218 Criminal
Procedure Code which has the same conditions from art. 223 Criminal Procedure Code.

At the same time, he showed that the court has at its disposal the provisions of art. 221 para. 3 Procedure code
criminal with reference to art. 215 Criminal Procedure Code.
As a consequence, the defense requested the admission of the appeal, the annulment of the challenged
conclusion and the rejection of the proposal of the prosecutor's office to take the measure of preventive detention in the
main, and in the subsidiary, if it is judged that there is a reasonable suspicion, although the defense further notes that
there is no kind of evidence in this file, he requested the taking of a milder alternative preventive measure, namely the
preventive measure of judicial control or the preventive measure of house arrest. Submit written notes to the case file.

Examining the documents of the file and the disputed conclusion in light of the criticisms formulated,
in accordance with T. with the provisions of art. 4251 and art. 204 C.proc.pen., the collegial panel of rights and
freedoms within the Court considers as unfounded the appeals formulated by the accused appellants TT, T. III
EA, RAL and NG, for the following reasons:
The collegial panel of rights and liberties within the Court finds, in agreement with the judge of rights and
liberties who resolved the proposal to take the measure of preventive arrest, that in the case the conditions provided for
by art. 223 para. 1 and 2 C.proc.pen., respectively: 1. the existence of evidence from which there is a reasonable
suspicion that the defendants have committed a crime, which can be found in the enumeration of the mentioned legal
text and 2. deprivation of libertyT. of the defendants is necessary to remove a state of danger for public order.

In the analysis of the first condition mentioned above, the Collegial Panel of Rights and Freedoms within the
Court considers, contrary to what was claimed by the accused appellants, that in the case there is sufficient evidence
(interpreted appropriately in relation to the current procedural moment and reproduced exhaustively both in the content
the report with the proposal to take the measure of preventive arrest No. 1305/D/P/2022 but also in the conclusion of
30.12.2022 of the judge of rights and freedoms within the Bucharest Court - Criminal Section I) likely to convince an
observer objective, in the sense of art. 5 par. (1) lit. c) from the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights

The collegial panel of rights and freedoms within the Court notes that the main criticism formulated by
the defendants TT, T. III EA, RAL and NG concerns the factual basis of the preventive measure, they
dispute the substance of the accusations made by the prosecutor and appreciate that there is no
evidence to support the accusations .
Considering the standard of proof necessary for taking the measure of preventive arrest (reasonable
suspicion regarding the commission of one or more crimes) which does not coincide with that of the
proof beyond any reasonable doubt required by art. 103 para. 2 C.pr.pen., the panel of judges
proceeding with its own evaluation, without affecting the presumption of innocence of the defendants,
considers that these criticisms are unfounded.
Thus, the collegial panel of rights and freedoms finds that, when defining the reasonable suspicion
that the defendants would have committed the above-mentioned facts, the rights and freedoms judge
of the first instance had in mind a cumulative evidence result. from the corroboration of several means
of evidence administered during the criminal investigation, namely the statements of the injured
persons UA, GE A, AS A., P. C - D which corroborate with the resulting aspects. from the reports of
extrajudicial psychological expertise and the minutes of the playback of conversations through the
Whatsapp application.
Evidence is abundantly present. and analyzed in the context of the conclusion of the dispute, the
collegial panel of rights and freedoms within the Court appropriating from this point of view the
following. by the judge of rights and liberties from the court of substance, following that he will proceed
to an analysis of them, punctually, in relation to the criticisms formulated by the defense.
The elected lawyers of the accused appellants T. III EA and TT invoked the violation of the principle
of loyalty of the administration of evidence during the criminal prosecution, arguing, in this
sense, that although the criminal prosecution in rem began on 11.04.2022, the bodies of criminal
investigation unjustifiably postponed the ordering of the further criminal investigation against the two
defendants, during which they proceeded to the administration of evidence, without granting the
possibility to participate in the criminal investigation, thus violating their right to defense.

Contrary to the defense, the collegial panel of rights and freedoms finds that the case prosecutor
proceeded according to the provisions of art. 305 para. 3 C.pr.pen. which establish that" when there
is evidence from which there is a reasonable suspicion that a certain person committed the act for
which the criminal investigation was started and there is none of the cases provided for in art. 16
para. 1, the criminal investigation body orders that the criminal investigation be continued against him,
who acquires the status of a suspect". However, as long as, in the period prior to the acquisition of
the quality of suspects, the criminal investigation body acted in order to administer the necessary
evidence to establish or not the reasonable suspicion regarding their participation/guilt, no violation of
the right to defense can be held, thus as claimed by the two appellants.

Also, the accused appellants criticized the evidence administered during the criminal investigation, on
the one hand, in terms of the legality of the evidence, with reference to the transcripts of
conversations through the Whatsapp application and to the reports of extrajudicial psychological
expertise, and on the other hand part, in terms of the reliability of the evidence that was the basis
of the criminal accusation, with reference to the statements of the injured persons UA, GE A, AS A.
and P CI.a. Regarding the
minutes of the playback of the conversations through the Whatsapp application, the collegial panel of
rights and freedoms notes that, according to art. 139 para. 3 C.pr.pen.
Machine Translated by Google

the recordings made by the parties or other persons constitute means of evidence when they concern
their own conversations or communications they had with third parties.
Therefore, under the conditions in which the records made available to the criminal investigation
bodies, concern their own conversations. by the injured persons with defendants T. III EA and TT, the
collegial panel of rights and freedoms finds that they can constitute evidence in this case.

Also, the "extrajudicial expert reports" carried out regarding the injured persons A. U and GE A are
means of evidence, in the sense of the provisions of art. 97 para. 1 lit. e C.pr.pen., respectively
documents, which emanate from a clinical psychologist specialist in psychological expertise applied
in justice. Regarding their
probative force, the collegial panel of rights and freedoms recalls the provisions of art. 103 para. 1
C.pr.pen. according to which" the evidence does not have a value established in advance by law and
is subject to the free judgment of the judicial bodies following the evaluation of all the evidence
administered in the case".
Without proceeding to an exhaustive analysis regarding the reliability of the administered evidence,
considering that the analysis of the validity of the accusation is the competence of the court vested
with the indictment, the collegial panel of rights and freedoms ascertains from the corroboration of the
statements of the injured persons heard during the criminal investigation ( UA, GE A, AS A. and P CI.a)
with the transcripts of the conversations through the Whatsapp application that the defendants T. III
EA and TT recruited the victims, in order to carry out activities generating illicit profits, as they were
mentioned above, through misleading maneuvers regarding the intention to establish a relationship of
cohabitation/marriage and the existence of false feelings and, in the case of the injured person P CI.a
through the false presentation/promise that he will obtain income and other extremely attractive rewards
from presT video chat activities. for the defendants T. III EA and TT, which excludes the existence of a
free, unaltered and untainted consent, as claimed by the two defendants. Next, from the corroborated
analysis of the means of evidence it shows. above, the collegial panel of rights and freedoms
notes that, through methods of persuasion, manipulation and both mental and physical coercion, the
defendants T. III EA and TT together with the defendants RAL and NG transported and sheltered the
victims, for the purpose of exploitation, through forcing pornographic manifestations, using the website
www.onlyfans.com and by submitting to the execution of a work, by force, using the website
www.tiktok.com in this sense, to identify a number of more than 1000 followers, the amounts of money
obtained from the performance of this activity returning almost entirely to them. members of the criminal
group.

Although the defendants defended themselves, claiming that they did not exercise any form of coercion
or misleading, trying to substantiate the idea that the injured persons used the TikTok and Onlyfans
platforms of their own free will, being free to quit at any time, the evidence administered up to this point
procedurally proves the opposite. Specifically,
using the emotional authority he possessed and permanently exercised over the injured person
UA, the defendant T. III EA forced her to make a live video on Tik Tok together with the injured person
ABG, the conversation being relevant carried through the Whatsapp application, on that date, which,
for more accuracy, the panel of judges will reproduce below:

In the same way, using the emotional authority he possessed and permanently exercised over the
injured person A SA., the defendant TT induced her to work for him, meaning that the injured person
agreed to carry out video chat activities and post on Tik Tok, under the direction/supervision of defendants
NG and RL, who forced her to work harder and harder, post more and more videos on Tik Tok, and
follow their directions regarding pictures and videos for Only Fans.

The injured person A SA. continued her activities, following a very strict schedule (she had to be live for
12 hours on Tik Tok with a break of only 5 minutes), the defendants NG and RL requiring her to make a
minimum of 10,000 euros/month from on Tik Tok and threatening her, at the same time, that they will
beat her if she doesn't do her job. From the statement of the injured person A SA. it appears that she
was afraid to give up, so that the defendants NG and RL would not proceed as they did in the case of C.
(injured person P C- nn) respectively hack her accounts and post indecent pictures or videos with her.

defendants NG and RL, who forced them to work harder and harder, to post more and more
videos on Tik Tok, and to comply with their instructions regarding pictures and videos for Only
Fans . Moreover, from the statement of the injured person UA, a form of psychological coercion
can also be observed by claiming some debts, the so-called fines" that were applied to them "
by the defendants Taste T. and Taste A. if the girls did not post on OnlyFans, so that the named
P At that time, he owed them the sum of 4,000 euros.
Although the named P. I and ABG, both in the statements given before the criminal prosecution
bodies, in caliT. witnesses as well as through the authenticated statements given before the notary
and submitted by the defense to the case file, denied any form of exploitation on the part of the four
defendants, the collegial panel of rights and freedoms appreciates that these statements do not
reflect reality, it being known that , in" the case of the ``lover boy'' or ``in love'' recruitment method,
victims of human trafficking do not always recognize the fact that they have been enslaved
and exploited. and they do not cooperate with the judicial bodies, attesting to the idea that
these activities were practiced voluntarily.
As for the injured person P CD, she was misled and subsequently maintained that she would
obtain income and other extremely attractive rewards, so that she performed activities on Tik
Tok and the Only Fans platform from August 2021 and until November of the same year, without
a contract, having a schedule set by the defendant NG and a number of hours spent live on Tik
Tok, not being able to leave the location unless accompanied by one of the girls, a rule also set
by the defendant NG. Regarding the money obtained from these activities, the injured person P
CD stated that, although she did not sign any contract, both she and the other girls obtained a
percentage of 50% of the earnings made on Tik Tok and OnlyFans, the defendant RL telling her
that , of the other 50%, 25% belongs to her and the remaining 25% goes to the defendants T.
and AT. However, the injured person P CD stated that he did not receive any amount of money
from the Only Fans platform, the defendants NG and RL telling him that he did not win anything
even though during that period he sent daily pictures and videos to be
posted . on OnlyFans. The circumstance that the injured person GE A did not actually perform the
activities for which he was recruited and housed does not exclude the existence of the act, as long
as the purpose pursued by the
defendants was represented by its exploitation. With regard to the crimes of rape held against the
defendant TAE, in agreement with the judge of the trial court and the collegial panel of rights and
freedoms, consider that the administration of additional evidence is required, to corroborate the
statements of the injured person and to clarify the factual situation .
The collegial board of rights and freedoms of rights cannot ignore the early stage of the criminal
investigation, which will analyze all the defendants' claims vis-à-vis the concrete modalities in which
the acts took place, however, in relation to the means of evidence administered until currently
appreciates that from the evidentiary perspective there are enough elements to lead to the reasonable
suspicion that the defendants would have
committed the above-mentioned acts. In the verification of the subsequent requirement of the legal
text (art. 223 paragraph 2 C.pr.pen.), respectively, if deprivation of libertyT. of the defendants is
necessary to remove a state of danger for public order, the collegial panel of rights and freedoms
within the Court states, based on the assessment of the seriousness of the act, the manner and
circumstances of its commission, the entourage and the environment from which the defendants
come , of the criminal antecedents and other circumstances regarding their person, that they present a conc
Thus, since the defendants are being investigated for the commission of human trafficking crimes, the
seriousness of the charges brought is obvious, and the manner and circumstances of their commission
denote an elaborate manner of action through the prism of a large-scale criminal activity.
The collegial committee on rights and freedoms notes that human trafficking is one of the most serious
forms of crime. organized, in which the violence, the humiliation of the abused people, with a promiscuous
living environment, but also with the obtaining of fabulous sums of money, dishonestly, are interwoven.
The phenomenon of human trafficking, which has increased exponentially in recent years, is of the nature of a

alters the moral health of the population, gathering around him wide circles of people, whose human,
emotional and social evolution is seriously affected.
Starting from these premises, the collegial panel of rights and freedoms within the Court emphasizes
that, through its jurisprudence, the European Court of Human Rights has held that it is accepted that
due to their particular gravity and the public's reaction to their commission, certain crimes can generate
social disturbances that justify preventive arrest, at least for a certain period of time. In exceptional
circumstances, this factor may therefore be taken into account under the Convention, at least to the
extent that domestic law recognizes the notion of disturbance of public order caused by a crime.
However, this reason cannot be considered relevant and sufficient unless it is based on facts that
demonstrate that the release of a detainee would actually disturb public order (ECtHR Cases LetE.r v.
France of June 26, 1991, application 12369/86, point 51; IA v. France of 23 September 1998,
application 1/1998/904/1116, point 104; Prencipe v. Monaco of 16 July 2009, application 43376/06,
point 79; Tiron v. Romania of 7 April 2009, application 17689 / 03, points 41-42).

However, in the case, the facts allegedly committed by the defendants are likely to cause a strong
resonance within society.
Consequently, the lack of a prompt reaction of the judicial system and the release of the defendants.
at the present procedural moment, it would induce disruptions of public discipline, of respect for the
law, stimulating the collective fear that justice is not effective against dangerous acts, thus generating
a feeling of insecurity, potentially encouraging other people to commit similar acts.
The concrete danger to public order thus derives from the nature of the crimes, the way they are
committed (through the combined action of several people, recruiting several victims by misleading
them, through multiple acts of execution, against victims in vulnerable situations, helping to satisfy the
patrimonial interests of the defendants), the period of time in which the criminal activity would have
been carried out, but also from the environment from which the defendants come and other
circumstances regarding their person, meaning that the collegial panel takes into account the fact
that the defendants T. and AT are people with a particular influence (influencers) in the digital
environment, addressing a very vulnerable segment of the population (young people, especially males,
aged between 16 and 25) with messages that denote a total lack of respect for women, encouraging
acts of the nature alleged to be committed by the defendants.
However, such facts must be clearly repressed and disavowed by the representatives of society, in order
to set a clear example for anyone who would consider that the laws or social rigors are inferior to his own
person and do not apply to him.
As such, the judges of rights and liberties within the Court consider that taking the measure of house
arrest or one of the non-custodial measures. provided by the criminal procedure code, cannot be compatible
with gR.l of the social danger of the defendants and their deeds, the obligations that could be imposed on
them not being sufficient to guarantee the safety of society, the defendants presenting a concrete danger
to the other members of society, leaving them freeT. not being welcome at this time.

On the other hand, in agreement with the judge of rights and liberties from the trial court, the collegial
panel of rights and liberties appreciates that at this early stage of the investigations, the presence of the
defendants in a state of freedom is not required, such a solution could even have adverse effects on the
criminal investigation activity, people who may have knowledge of the criminal activities will be heard, all
the more so as some of the victims are still under the perpetrators and the control of the defendants TT and
TEA and in close relations with defendants RAL and NGM.
With regard to the medical situation invoked by the defendant AT, the collegial panel of rights and
freedoms finds that there is, at this moment, no evidence to show that the defendant would not benefit from
adequate medical treatment in a custodial regime. or that such treatment could not be ensured, in the public
health network, under permanent guard.
Against these considerations, based on art. 425 ind. 1 paragraph 7 point 1 lit. b C.pr.pen. rap. to art. 204
C.pr.pen., the collegial panel of rights and freedoms within the Court will reject as unfounded the appeals
formulated by the defendants T. III EA, TT, RAL and NG against the conclusion of the council chamber
dated 30.12.2022 of the judge of rights and freedoms within the Bucharest Court - First Criminal Section
