Laura Vicol, fosta deputată PSD, avocat în procesul lui Călin Georgescu pentru tentativă de lovitură de stat • Newsweek România

Laura Vicol, former PSD deputy, appeared in court as the lawyer for Dan Cristian Panță, implicated in a case involving Călin Georgescu and Horațiu Potra, accused of attempting a coup. The trial began at the Bucharest Court of Appeal but was postponed to September 28, as Georgescu did not attend. Prosecutors allege that Panță was part of Potra's inner circle, involved in financing Georgescu's political activities. The case revolves around a planned coup following the annulment of the 2024 presidential elections, with Potra allegedly organizing a paramilitary group to incite violence during protests. Authorities intervened before the plan could be executed, discovering weapons and explosives in the suspects' vehicles, which posed a threat to national security.
