paragraph_text: Alleged Securitate collaboration
  
  In May 2024, ahead of local elections, a purported Securitate document from July 1988 emerged, detailing Dan's collaboration with the secret police of the Ceaușescu regime. The document contained information provided by Dan about his high school peers who participated in the International Mathematical Olympiads of 1987 and 1988.
  
  Dan denied its authenticity, claiming he had minimal contact with authorities of the time. PSD leader and Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu questioned the document's credibility, noting its unusually polished composition. The National Council for the Study of the Securitate Archives (CNSAS) deemed it a forgery, citing incorrect dates, atypical expressions, and a writing style inconsistent with the typewriters used by the Securitate, including the absence of diacritics typical in genuine documents of the era.
