  1. The man from Ploiești accused by DIICOT of spying for the Russian Federation has been sentenced to 5 and a half years in prison.

    Supreme Court judges rejected his appeal and upheld the sentence handed down by the Bucharest Court of Appeal. Alexandru Piscan was found guilty of treason.

    He had admitted to filming troop movements and military equipment in the border area with Ukraine with his mobile phone and delivering the footage to the Russian Embassy in Bucharest.

    He will serve his sentence under maximum security, as he is considered a security risk, according to judicial sources.

  2. Meanwhile, the US can group chat invite journalists to secret military operational meetings. Investigate themselves and miraculously find no wrong doing lmao

  3. How the F is that only worth 5 years?

    Ridiculous sentence.

  4. It is is pathetic that all of these hostile actions are undertaken by Russia and instead of preparing for war we are desperately trying to cling to our US protectors. Time to man up.

  5. Treason needs to be a hell of a lot stronger than this ! Our politicians being puppets for musk and trump should be locked up and banned from politics… as a Brit let’s start with Farage !

  6. so what are these ‘root causes’? Why can they never be more specific

  7. In the good old days we used to impale people now only 5 years

  8. Treason is worthy of much worse sentence. Much much much worse

  10. I’m sure he’s going to tumble out of a window. Rule 1 of spy club is don’t talk about who employed you.

  11. It’s quite interesting that in Lithuania treason is purely war time crime, and this would be qualified as spying or assistance to a foreign state in acting against national interests.

  13. He should have sent it over in a Signal group chat. 

  16. The man was also present on X spreading Russian propaganda. 5 years is really too low

  17. If I would only risk a five year sentence, I would have spied for Norway or Ukraine literally anywhere at any time. What the hell lol.

  18. > diplomat

    Flimsiest diplomatic cover ever. Diplomats do not ask locals for pictures of military bases; spies do.

  19. (Peace)can what an underwhelming delivery of family name, just like the his 5y sentence.

  22. Why is treason treated so lightly?

    It’s one of the worst offences you can do. This man betrayed his country and every single Romanian man, woman, and child. Risking their lives for his own gain. 5 years is nothing.

  23. 5 years are too little, they shoud have gave him 10 years at least

  26. I said this in another comment. This is for those that are saying 5 years is not enough.

    He will go to Rahova prison.

    He will be put in Section 4, in Rahova prison. That is where the maximum security sentences are served.

    Section 4 is full of murderers, rapists, serial killers and generally the worst of the worst.

    He will share a room with 4 or more very angry, very murderous men.

    He is a traitor and traitors are treated very badly in prison, along with rapists, pedophiles and women and child killers.

    Take it from someone who’s been in that prison.

    I was in section 2, semi-open. So I was free to roam on the hallways and in other rooms.

    The guy is literally fucked.

    There is also Gherla prison or Jilava, which are both much worse than Rahova.

    He cannot choose which prison he goes to.

    He can apply for a transfer to a prison that is closer to his registered home, after some time has been served, but there is a commission that can approve our deny the transfer.

    He will suffer a lot.

    Maximum security also means he cannot work inside or outside the prison, in order to reduce his sentence.

  28. 🤔…… I have to wonder if Daniel Smith will ever see the inside of a court room. In some countries both acts would result in summary execution. Not saying execution is the answer but 5 years for spying. And nothing at all for plotting against your country’s well being /sovereignty is not acceptable….. not acceptable at all

  29. Waiting for Trump and Putin to condemn this like the Le Pen verdict

  34. We need to update our laws. Make it 25 minimum and we’ll probably see a decrease of these acts.
