Mugur Ciuvică
Mugur Ciuvică (Romanian pronunciation: [mugur ʧiuvicə]) is a former presidential aide of ex-President Emil Constantinescu and a controversial Romanian political analyst.[1]
In 2002, Ciuvică was briefly detained and subsequently placed under investigation for distributing via the Internet a report entitled Armageddon II, which alleged that then-Romanian Prime Minister was involved in corrupt business affairs.[2] Rights groups said that the indictment undermined freedom of expression.[3]
Ciuvică is the leader of the Group for Political Investigations.[4] Ciuvică appears frequently on Antena 3 news channel. In July 2013, he ranked second among Romanian public figures with the highest number of presences in TV studios.[5]
Ciuvică is a frequent critique of former President Traian Băsescu.[6] In April 2009, Mircea Băsescu, President Traian Băsescu's brother, threatened to beat Ciuvică.[7]
