Romania detained six people on charges of trying to overthrow the state with Russia’s help, prosecutors said yesterday, and a 101-year-old former army major general said his home had been raided as part of the investigation.
The suspects were detained on Wednesday, the same day Romania – a European Union and Nato member state – declared the Russian embassy’s military attache and his deputy personae non grata for what it said were acts contravening diplomatic rules.
