In the lead-up to the 2024 presidential elections, several TikTok influencers were allegedly involved in promoting independent candidate Călin Georgescu, reportedly funded by businessman Bogdan Peșchir. Prosecutors identified five influencers who received significant virtual gifts and cryptocurrency transfers from Peșchir, which they claim were used to influence voters. The influencers, known for their entertainment content, were strategically chosen for their existing audiences. While some influencers, like Makaveli, denied any financial motivation for their support, others acknowledged receiving gifts for promoting Georgescu. The investigation highlights the intersection of social media influence and political campaigning in Romania.
