French soldier found dead in Romania Bucharest, Nov 6 (AFP) Nov 06, 2022 A French soldier was found dead in his hotel room on Sunday in Bucharest, Romania where France is in charge of NATO operations for the country, a police source told AFP. A hotel chambermaid found the body and an investigation has been opened, the source said. Local media, citing police sources, said the 41-year-old man had checked into the hotel Thursday with other French soldiers and planned to stay until January 3. France has hundreds of soldiers in Romania along with Belgian and Dutch units as part of the NATO mission that was launched in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The government said last month that it would double the number of French soldiers in November to strengthen the defence of NATO's eastern flank. French military officials contacted by AFP would not comment. |
