A man slammed his car into a fence protecting the Russian Embassy in Bucharest, on Wednesday morning, before dousing himself in gasoline and setting himself on fire, Romanian media has reported.
He was reportedly found dead inside the charred vehicle when emergency services arrived. Digi24 quoted investigative sources as saying that his actions were “intentional.”
Media outlets identified the driver as Bogdan Draghici. He was said to have been sentenced to more than 15 years in jail on Tuesday for abusing his daughter and had earlier been banned from leaving the country.
