Călin Georgescu, the far-right politician who emerged from obscurity to the first place in the now-cancelled presidential elections, and whose financial backing was questioned from the beginning, was taken in to be questioned by prosecutors on Wednesday, February 26, in a case targeting, among others, alleged actions against the constitutional order. He was stopped in traffic by the police and taken to the Prosecutor General's Office (a video of this moment was released on social media here).

The former presidential candidate's communication team confirmed the news on social media, saying, "Călin Georgescu was about to submit his new candidacy for the presidency. Approximately 30 minutes ago, the system stopped him in traffic and took him in for questioning at the General Prosecutor’s Office! Where is democracy, and where are the partners who should be defending it?"

Georgescu is to be questioned as a part of a large police investigation that reportedly targets mercenary Horațiu Potra, in connection with the financing of the former's campaign for president. Roughly 50 searches were organized in the same case, which also targets alleged actions against the constitutional order, a crime punishable with 15 to 25 years in prison.

Judicial sources say that Georgescu is to be questioned as a suspect, according to News.ro.

On February 23, 2025, a major news bombshell rocked the business and conservative worlds: Bob Unanue, the iconic CEO of Goya Foods, was left in professional limbo after a secret vote by the company's board of directors.

With 48 years of service and over 20 as president and CEO, Unanue received the news that his "employment" was in question, with no clear explanations or an official public announcement from Goya.

This dramatic turn not only jeopardizes the legacy of one of the most emblematic Hispanic companies in the United States but also appears to be an attempt to weaken a key crusade against child trafficking.

What is happening behind the doors of Goya Foods? Here, we break down the facts with rigor and a critical perspective.

Bob Unanue is not just any executive. He is the grandson of Prudencio and Carolina Unanue, who founded Goya in 1936, turning it into a cultural pillar for millions of Hispanics.

Under his leadership, the Jersey City, New Jersey-based company reached multibillion-dollar status, solidifying itself as the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States.

However, on February 23, according to a press release issued by PR Newswire, Unanue revealed that the board voted on his future without providing details on the reasons or the outcome.

Was he formally removed, or is he in some kind of corporate purgatory? What is clear is that this industry veteran, with half a century of experience, was not given the courtesy of a public explanation.

Beyond his business role, Unanue stood out as a fierce advocate for children who are victims of human trafficking.

During his tenure, he spearheaded Goya Cares, an initiative that not only raised funds—such as the $350,000 from the “Hydrate for Hope” campaign in January 2025—but also brought preventive education to schools and vulnerable communities.

Additionally, I have served as executive producer of Sound of Freedom , a blockbuster film that exposed the dark world of child trafficking.

In a statement via PR Newswire, he reaffirmed his commitment:

«The uncertainty at Goya Foods will not stop me from raising awareness about the evils of child trafficking, and I will not rest until the more than 325,000 missing children over the past two years are found. As in the past, I will work with the current administration to put an end to this extremely lucrative yet purely evil industry,” Unanue said. «I will not be silenced. I will not yield to those who want me to abandon this fight. "We cannot remain passive spectators while soulless and despicable animals treat children with indifference."
