35 years after the Romanian Revolution that began in Timișoara on December 16, 1989, DefenseRomania is broadcasting two special episodes of the Obiect EuroAtlantic podcast, in which the guest is prosecutor Dan Voinea, the one who investigated the Revolution Case and who brought to justice the group involved in the repression in Timișoara, a trial that ended with convictions. The first episode of the podcast dedicated to the Revolution will be broadcast on Friday, 20.12.2024, starting at 11:00, with the second to be broadcast on 23.12.2024. The first episode will focus on the repression in Timișoara and the beginning of the Revolution in Bucharest. Dan Voinea will reveal statements that communist leaders made to him in arrest, as well as macabre information about Operation Trandafirul, when dozens of dead from Timișoara were brought to Bucharest and burned in the Cenușa crematorium on the orders of the two dictators. The subject of the so-called "Soviet tourists" will also be debated and evidence of the presence in Romania of thousands of Soviet agents who lit the fuse of the Revolution, a narrative that more and more people are swallowing unchewed today. The source of the sound that created panic and broke up Nicolae Ceaușescu's rally on December 21, 1989, then the massacre that followed at the Inter Barricade, as well as the first moments of his entry into the CC Central Committee will be analyzed by military prosecutor Dan Voinea, who investigated thousands of pages and collected thousands of statements from victims, but also from those involved in the repression. The second episode will focus on how the group around Ion Iliescu took power, how General Victor Atanasie Stănculescu handed over power at the Ministry of National Defense to Iliescu, the relationship between Stănculescu and Iliescu, other poles of power that formed after Ceaușescu's escape, and the trial of the dictators. We recall that Dan Voinea participated in and drafted the indictment at the trial of the Ceaușescuists. There will also be interesting revelations about the firing squad, the last moments of the dictatorial couple, why the execution went "clumsily" and the order to open fire on those who participated in the trial in case of an acquittal. Dan Voinea will also explain why, from a legislative point of view, the death sentence of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu was legal. The Revolution file remains one of the most controversial files in Romanian history. Currently, there is a new indictment that largely takes over the Securitate thesis and makes verdicts that should belong to historians, such as a "coup d'état" as early as December 16, 1989, in a context in which many pieces of evidence and witness statements from the adjacent files investigated in the 1990s are omitted. Military prosecutor Dan Voinea is the Romanian magistrate who, between 1997 and 2000, headed the Military Prosecutor's Office Section within the Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice. In December 1989, when he had the rank of major at the Military Prosecutor's Office Directorate, he was appointed prosecutor in the trial of Elena and Nicolae Ceaușescu, drawing up the indictment on the basis of which the two were sentenced to death and executed on December 25, 1989. Dan Voinea is also the one who investigated the Mineriada file of June 13-15, 1990.
