The case concerns one of the schemes of illegal financing of the Political Party "Șor" investigated after the protests organized during the period of 2022–2023. The court found that Delescu Denis played the role of a courier within the mechanism for distributing funds from the organized criminal group affiliated with Ilan Șor, ensuring the transfer of significant amounts to the territorial organizations of the party for the remuneration of protesters and the logistical organization of the demonstrations.

The court emphasized that such actions undermine the integrity of the democratic process and the transparency of political party financing.
