The “spies of Tito” in 1950 in the context of the Romanian-Yugoslav relations

Summary/Abstract: Between 1950 and 1951, several criminal trials were held in Romania which indicated the existence of networks of foreign intelligence on Romanian territory, creating the feeling of a siege and blows to the "social order" and leadership. In these circumstances, the authorities in Bucharest have discovered a "spy business". On 16 July 1949, the police caught two Yugoslav embassy officials: Boşco Laţici and Nicola Medici while distributing Titoist propaganda booklets in Bucharest. A criminal trial followed, in which 12 people were convicted on charges of "crimes against the state" and "espionage for Yugoslavia"; two of them were executed.
