A Political Trial in Romania: the Oilman Alexander W. Evans Case, 1948

Summary/Abstract: In 1948, the Romanian Communist Government, under the direct guidance of the Soviet Union, nationalized the Western oil companies. For propaganda means, the Government imposed the arrest and the conviction of those companies’ former managers. Regarding Evans, former manager of the British-French owned company “Steaua Română” (“The Romanian Star”), the British Government and the British Legation in Bucharest protested against the severe custody, the illegal procedure during the inquiry and the lawsuit and tried to persuade the Groza Government to release the oilman. Finally, British Legation paid the bail and the Romanian authorities allowed Evans to leave Romania.
