Romania: Politician Sentenced to Two Years in Prison for Fried Chicken Conspiracy

When I saw the headline “politician sentenced to prison for handing out fried chicken to voters,” I assumed it was Detroit.

Nope.

Breitbart:

A Romanian Member of Parliament has been sentenced to two years in prison for handing out vast quantities of fast food to voters in a bid to win an election.

Florin Aurelian Popescu, a Liberal Democrat (PDL) politician resigned his parliamentary seat this month ahead of sentencing as he came to answer for a crime committed in 2012. Mr. Popescu was not an MP then, but was seeking re-election on a local council, reports the Telegraph.

Despite it not being a seat in the national parliament Mr. Popescu saw fit to give away 60,992 kg of “grilled chicken”, ordering it in bulk from a local business and sending campaign volunteers to collect and distribute the meat. The prosecutor told the court every package of chicken was “distributed for election purposes”.

In addition to benefiting himself, the edible bribe was part of a campaign to control the mayoralty of Dambovita County, reports Agerpres.

Since the bribe, Mr. Popescu went on to win a seat at the national parliament, and has earned the nickname “chicken baron”.

Although thousands apparently received the bribe, it took the company he paid 485,500 Romanian Leu to (£85,000) for the meat to report his behaviour.

Chicken generally isn’t classified as “meat,” but rather “poultry.”

I don’t eat fried chicken, of course, but I’m sure it probably is delicious.

In Black culture, it’s basically a religious sacrament.
