Eugen Grigore
In 1974, Romanian truck driver Eugen Grigore drove his cargo truck into a group of tents belonging to Romani nomads, killing 24 people and injuring 50 others. Grigore served 27 years in prison.

He had a wife, three children and a house in the Copou neighborhood from Iași. One day, the director from his workplace told him to go home because his house is burning. Author Traian Tandin claims that a group of Gypsy women and minors, belonging to the nomadic Gypsy tribe that was settled near Ciurea, thought that nobody was home, so they entered it in order to rob.

Murders By Motor Vehicle
Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought. ("The killing of another person without justification or excuse, especially the crime of killing a person with malice aforethought or with recklessness manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.") This state of mind may, depending upon the jurisdiction, distinguish murder from other forms of unlawful homicide, such as manslaughter. Manslaughter is killing committed in the absence of ''malice'',This is "malice" in a technical legal sense, not the more usual English sense denoting an emotional state. See malice (law). brought about by reasonable provocation, or diminished capacity. ''Involuntary'' manslaughter, where it is recognized, is a killing that lacks all but the most attenuated guilty intent, recklessness.

List Of Rampage Killers (vehicular Homicide)
This list of rampage killers contains those cases where only vehicles were used to attack people. Since it may be quite difficult to distinguish accidents, or cases of reckless driving from those incidents where the driver, or pilot, had the intention to harm others, only those cases are included where it is clear that the vehicle was applied as a weapon and crashed deliberately into people, other vehicles, or buildings. Also, those cases where a rampage killer used an armed vehicle, such as a tank, or a fighter aircraft, to shoot others are listed here. Airliners and trains are not included in this section but in other incidents.

Steaua Fans
The term ''Steaua fans'' refers to all people who support Steaua Bucuresti, a Romanian sports club with several departments and a Romanian football club respectively. As Steaua is, judging by performances, the most successful Romanian football team, they enjoy the biggest support among Romanian football fans. A survey conducted in 2004 suggested that the Ghencea-based team accounts for approximately 42% of all Romanian football lovers, meaning about five million fans inside and outside Romania's borders. This large number of supporters is in large part to the club's outstanding performances, both domestically and internationally. After FCSB lost the name and the crest, the fans have divided into two groups, some fans support CSA Steaua Bucuresti and other FC FCSB (the team recognized by FRF to be the original team), while other prominent groups remain undecided over the issue.

FC Steaua București
FC Steaua București was a Romanian professional football club of which two current entities are claiming the records. The original ''FC Steaua București'' team was part of the namesake CSA Steaua București sports club and belonged to the Ministry of National Defence. In 1998, the club and facilities were separated from the sports club and taken over by a group of shareholders in a post-Ceaușescu privatisation scheme, allegedly leading to one of the shareholders (Gigi Becali) acquiring full ownership five years later. However, CSA Steaua București sued the football club in 2011, claiming that this was a new entity; the two have since been in a legal conflict regarding the ownership of the Steaua brand and honours, which resulted in multiple court cases and the forced change of the name of ''FC Steaua București'' to FCSB in early 2017. UEFA and LPF are attributing all of the original club history to FCSB. According to the newest court decision, CSA Steaua holds all honours up ...
