Former SIS Deputy Director Alexandru Bălan reportedly identified at least seven covert officers of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI). According to a report by Europa Liberă, this breach occurred during a clandestine operation in Budapest in April 2025. During this meeting, Bălan collaborated with KGB agents operating from Belarus. The encounter highlights a significant security failure involving the exposure of high-level intelligence assets. The details of the meeting have been reconstructed to show the extent of the compromise. This incident underscores the ongoing risks of espionage and foreign influence within Romanian security structures.
