Bucharest General Mayor Ciprian Ciucu has publicly rejected the image of a corrupt politician. He claims that his personal lifestyle serves as evidence that he has not enriched himself through his office. To emphasize this point, Ciucu noted that he continues to use elevators alongside couriers. These statements come as the mayor remains under judicial control since June 18. He is currently facing a case brought by the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA). The DNA alleges that Ciucu accepted bribes between November and December 2025. The mayor continues to maintain his innocence despite the ongoing legal proceedings.
