Where Dumitru Dragomir hid a fortune. The amount of cash is really huge

Dumitru Dragomir, former head of the LPF, made revelations about the period in which he was arrested during the communist regime.

The former president of the LPF had problems with the law when he was managing Chimia Râmnicu – Vâlcea. Everything started from a business that brought him a profit of one million lei.

Dumitru Dragomir: “I sentence you to death for 100,000 lei”

“The Oracle of Balcesti” revealed what happened. “I quit football because of the accident, but I became the vice-president of the club on football issues (ed. – at Chimia Râmnicu-Vâlcea). The organizational secretary was one Crețu… I go to him and say: “We need money, comrade secretary”.

I also need money, he tells me, I told him to let me make money. He asked me how I wanted to make money, I told him let’s take 100,000 pictures of the team to give to businesses as a party task.

I’m going to all the party secretaries in the factories and plants, but talk to the first secretary, the police chief and the economic chief so they don’t arrest me. He told me that he agreed, he collected them, he called me too.

I told them we’re taking 100,000 pictures and I’m going with them. 10 lei was a picture, everyone wanted a picture of the winner of the Romanian Cup. I go to the printing house and make 200,000 pictures, only I know about this stuff. I sold them all and found myself with a million more that were mine. He sentences you to death for 100,000 lei.

They gave me an office in one of the most beautiful villas in Vâlcea, and during the construction of the building, in a small room from which you went up from the basement, a file as big as a wall was put. I rented the basement of the building to Gică Moxu, the director of the storekeepers throughout Vâlcea county.

I told him that I had two bags of money, I asked him where I put them. He showed me the camera and told me to put them in there. Six months later, the first secretaries change and one Mușat, director of TVR, comes.

I go to Constanța with the team, then I come from Constanța and play in Făgăraş. He asked me why I came from my sister in the cold, he said that because of this he lost the team with Dinamo. I told him he was ill-informed, but there was a bit of a gap between stupid and informed.

He arrested me on the spot, I made a fool of him in the meeting. They convicted me of gambling, I had to appeal after 72 hours and they gave me permission after I don’t know how many days. It wasn’t a prison, but they arrested me”, said Mitică Dragomir, la Fans.

“He put the gun to my head, either you give me the money or I shoot you”

Dragomir continued: “An accountant from Vâlcea is stabbing me in the throat, his name is Gică Mustătea. They came to the control and went straight to the safe, where my million from the pictures and nea Gica’s money were. They started writing the series on the bills, and around 1 am I started screaming.

They took me to jail, but first they sealed the house. The next day at 10 o’clock I go back to the house. They broke the pins, opened it and saw that there was no money. Captain Draghici pulls out his gun and tells me that he will shoot me if I don’t tell where the money is.

I said: “What money? Have you forgotten where I was last night?”. He put the gun to my head, give me the money or I’ll shoot you. I said to them: “Are you crazy? There was never any money here. Who knows what visions you had”. Captain Draghici asked for the papers, he starts tearing them.

He tells me to write like this: “The undersigned Dragomir Dumitru declares that there was no money in the house”. It’s over and I’m leaving as president to Oradea. The chief inspector called me and said that he is not arresting me, but I have to leave the county and give the apartment to his daughter.

In a month I took my furniture and left Oradea, I was very happy. After eight months, the first secretary from Oradea receives a phone call and tells me to go to Bucharest to General Dragnea”.

“He told me that near the cocini there is a dog that will eat you if it gets off the chain”

Dragomir also told. “I go to General Dragnea, who tells me to go to Scornicesti as president. I went to the Berlin restaurant, and there I see Gică Moxu, she was with a girl Mariana. He waves to me, I go up to him, kiss him and ask him what he’s doing.

He asked me why I didn’t come to collect the money, I was silent. I had forgotten about the money, but he remembered it and told me how he got it. He cut a little in the back, he opened the money box because he still had a key, I took the money and your money is in a cocini hood in Drăgășani.

He told me that near the cocini there is a dog that will eat you if you get off the chain. I went to Drăgășani after a match in Craiova, I put one bag in my car and another in a friend’s car. I put two bottles of whiskey and two cartridges of Kent in the cars and tell him to give them if someone stops him.

I leave for Oradea, and in Sibiu two militiamen stop the individual. I died when I saw, I see the individual starting to walk past the car, but he wasn’t putting his hands on something to give to the militiamen.

I pass the car and say: «Give them a bottle of whiskey and a cartridge of Kent, we can’t waste time». I knew myself there, because I fought for Sibiu to enter the first league when I was at Vâlcea. He quickly gives them what he had to give them and they ask us where we are going.

I told them we were going to Oradea, and they led us to the exit from Sibiu. There was another militia team in Oradea, but they let us go because they knew the individual. I stayed with the money, but I didn’t use it,” Dragomir revealed.
