A man is facing a criminal charge for desecrating graves after he was filmed taking home wooden crosses from a cemetery to burn at home.
The accused, 73, from the Barza commune in Olt county, Romania, was filmed by a witness taking several wooden crosses in a cart.
The video was posted on TikTok and piqued viewers’ curiosity.
According to Ion Anuta, the local mayor, it was not the first time that the man had taken crosses from the village cemetery.
The mayor said the man’s action is due to his past.
The man was a highly appreciated fiddle player, who performed for the “good world” at restaurants in the Olt Valley.
Sadly, he retired after the death of his son decades before.
