Bucharest Tribunal sentenced Ovidiu-Daniel Udroiu to six years in prison, his brother David Udroiu to five years and six months and Andreea-Maria Udroiu to an aggregate three years, seven months and ten days, in a cocaine and cannabis trafficking case brought by DIICOT, Romania’s organised-crime prosecution office.[1] All three appealed against the 23 October 2026 judgment, so the convictions are not final and will be reviewed by the Bucharest Court of Appeal.[1] The file, 4484/3/2026, reached the tribunal on 10 February 2026, a day after DIICOT sent the three to trial.[1] The court found the group sold on short meetings near the Laminorului metro station and by car, using coded expressions in phone apps to name the drugs.[1]
In two authorised purchases on 2 and 22 August 2025 an investigator’s collaborator paid 1,200 lei and 700 lei and received 5.03 and 4.97 grams of cannabis, each time together with powder containing cocaine.[1] A third sale was recorded on 15 October 2025, when police checked two buyers in Crevedia who had contacted the seller through the Whisper app and met him at a car wash.[1]
In the flat Ovidiu-Daniel and Andreea-Maria Udroiu shared near Șoseaua Chitilei, searches on 19 November 2025 found 1,257.68 grams of cannabis, cocaine-containing powders and packaging materials.[1] At the second address, where David Udroiu was found, investigators found 3,753 grams of cannabis that came to 3,559 grams after drying, 32.74 grams of powder containing cocaine, two precision scales and a vacuum-sealing machine.[1] The two searches together came to about 4.82 kilograms of cannabis, while the cocaine-containing powders, which are mixtures rather than pure cocaine, totalled about 92.53 grams.[1]
The court read the brothers’ talk of “PlayStation games” and “sausages” as code for drugs and for transport and packaging work.[1] The court rejected Ovidiu-Daniel Udroiu’s attempt to take sole responsibility and the defence that his wife and brother were not involved, calling the wife’s account “totally insincere”.[1] Andreea-Maria Udroiu’s three years and four months for trafficking were reduced by mitigating circumstances, and the court then added a previously suspended ten-month sentence for driving with a suspended licence, producing the aggregate term.[1] The tribunal ordered the drugs and packaging seized and 2,300 lei from the three documented sales confiscated, along with 37,700 lei taken from Ovidiu-Daniel Udroiu, 11,100 lei from David and a BMW 520D it held to be the elder brother’s.[1] The brothers remained in preventive arrest at sentencing and Andreea-Maria Udroiu remained under judicial control.[1] The ruling records that DIICOT did not identify the suppliers from whom the group bought drugs for resale.[1]
