Reminds me of the old KGB tactic where they would have agents seduce politicians and business men into compromising (recorded) sexual situations then use it for blackmail. I find it inevitable that many acting politicians on both sides of the aisle are being manipulated in this way.

In this article, an investigative Romanian journalist covers the story of the "Shanghai" network in Bucharest. This network has been supplying dozens of high ranking Romanian officials with underage girls for 13 years, who in turn were instructed by the Chinese to film the sex scenes with hidden cameras, obviously for blackmail. The leader of the Shanghai network now operates the only working copper mine in Romania, extracting 100% of the copper and exporting it to China, while his citizenship was canceled 4 years ago at the request of Romania's Intelligence Service because of actions which undermine the state's democratic institutions: http://www.tolo.ro/2018/03/24/de-13-ani-filmari-cu-zeci-de-i...

Seems like blackmail works just fine!
