Tudor Deaconu and the smugglers communicated on WhatsApp and Facebook, the indictment says.

The owner of a Lincolnwood construction company is charged with conspiring to smuggle Romanians into the United States to work for him.

Deaconu, a Romanian national and naturalized U.S. citizen, pleaded not guilty Wednesday during an arraignment in federal court. In 2020, Popescu was extradited from Romania to San Diego, Calif. to face charges of running an international ring that smuggled thousands of Romanians into the United States. He was accused of bringing Romanians into the United States across the northern and southern borders for nearly seven years and charging $10,000 to $25,000 in fees for each person.
