Elena Udrea, Alina Bica and Ana Maria Topoliceanu. Valentine's Day in Paris. Three friends at a luxury shopping session.
Last month, when photographs showed up in the press, the former presidential candidate Romania jumped like burned.
"I have a friendship relationship with the two and we used to often go to the movies or the theater together. I cannot see why we should be followed all the way up to Paris", Udrea said then.
In reality, they are more than three friends relaxing together. Because around them seems to weave a network of several million.
Alina Bica is DIOCT head and her position there is allegedly due according to political sources, to her relationship with Elena Udrea.
She was detained by the DNA prosecutors because three years ago, when she was a member of the ANRP Compensation Committee, she allegedly put in George Stelian’s pocket nearly 90 million. A triple amount compared to what he should have been due from the land restitution of Plumbuita.
In fact, George Stelian alias STELU is the character revolving around the three friends shopping. The discreet but controversial businessman made an impressive fortune from his litigation rights business. At only 38 years old.
The third friend from Paris, Ana-Maria Topoliceanu, was STELU’s lawyer.
Of course, in another business deal, just as shady. And revealed exclusively by the OBSERVATORY: the restitution of the Tonolla property to heirs. The businessman bought the litigious rights of several land plots for a small fee.
"Well, I hardly got any money. (....) I only took about 100 thousand euros," Bogdan Tonolla said then, Maximilian Tonolla’s heir.
With documents in hand, he got several land plots in Bucharest, sold for tens of millions of euros. One of the legally obtained land plots, twelve thousand square meters, was under the Globus Circus. Gheorghe Stelian asked the City Hall a small fortune for this land. His boldness angered the local councilors.
Ana Maria Topoliceanu is out of the country and could not give us an opinion.
STELU Gheorghe did not act alone in the Tonolla business, but with another real estate shark, Alexandru Faur. The one who took over the 3 million credit from Elena Udrea.
The involvement of Elena Udrea, the friend of Alina Bica and Anei Maria Topoliceanu, in the business of the litigious rights does not end here.
The same businessman George Stelian, involved in Alina Bica’s case and close associate of the former couple Cocos-Udrea. He sold the two 900 sqm land in the Floreasca district where a building with four floors was built.
The head of the PMP party paid almost one million euros for the land in Chopin street. The day after the controversial businessman had come into its possession. He bought the litigation rights with only 10 thousand euros from an ... old woman.
Contacted by the Observatory reporters Mr. Stelu confessed nonchalantly that he was only a pawn in the business.
The same Gheorghe Stelian grabbed a few years ago a huge villa from RAAPPS at an undervalued price: € 5 million !!!! A business the Observer show revealed!
