Who is Radu Gavriș?
Throughout his career he was involved in several controversies. In 2018, when the leadership of the Homicide Service of the Capital Police asked Carmen Dan, Minister of the Interior at the time, “to take a step back”, citing the prescription of a file in which the main suspect was Eugen Stan, a traffic policeman accused of pedophilia.
On August 28, 2018, Carmen Dan reevaluated Gavriș and thanked him for the “professionalism and determination” with which he acted to recover the gun that was stolen from the female gendarme during the violence of August 10 in Piaţa Victoriei.
Arriving the head of the Capital Police, Commissioner Radu Gavriș, was seconded in 2020 to the Harghita County Police. The decision was signed by Liviu Vasilescu, before he resigned from the head of the Romanian Police, as a result of the scandal generated by the meeting with members of the Duduianu clan, before the funeral of their chief. He won in court and returned to the Capital Police.
In 2021, Lucian Bode, then Minister of the Interior, replaced Radu Gavriș who was coordinating the anti-COVID fight at the level of the Capital Police, after he was caught in a restaurant violating the measures.
