MAE: No Romanian detained over London terror attack

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) says that no Romanian has been detained in connection to the terrorist attack that hit London in the night between June 3 -4.

The Romanian authorities rejected rumors that had been published in the media.

“According to official data we have obtained up to now, the information according to which two Romanian citizens were detained in connection to the terrorist attack in London, from June 3, is not confirmed. In addition, the Metropolitan Police does not own data that would confirm this press article,” said the MAE.

Seven people were killed in the terror attack that was claimed by terror group Islamic State. Close to 50 people have been wounded.

The terror network reportedly claimed a “detachment” of its fighters crashed a rented van into a crowd of people on London Bridge before going on a stabbing rampage, according to international media outlets.

Meanwhile, a Romanian baker has been described as one of the heroes of the London Bridge attack after he hit one of the terrorists over the head with a crate before giving shelter to 20 people.
