A case of romanian espionage in Italy during the 1950S: The Inquiry against Dumitru Dobre

  • TITLU în română: Un caz de spionaj român în Italia în anii 1950: ancheta împotriva lui Dumitru Dobre
  • Subiect: This study addresses a new subject related to the Romanian foreign espionage in Italy during the first years of the communist regime. Under discussion is the case of Dumitru Dobre, a chauffeur with the Romanian Legation in Rome, who was charged with espionage by the Italian authorities in 1951. The affair described in the study cannot be understood outside reference to the suit filed on charges of espionage in Romania “against the Vatican’s plotters,” which unjustly indicted Eraldo Pintori, the administrator of the Italian Cultural Institute in Romania, as a “spy” of the Italian State in Romania. All these accusations of Romanian or Italian espionage targeted the building of the Accademia di Romania in Rome, which the Italians wanted to confiscate, while the Romanians had turned it into the premises of the legation. The study presents the entire documentation preserved in the diplomatic Archive of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from Dobre’s arrest until his expulsion from Italy.
