THE DEBT THAT GREW ON CROSSING THE BORDER — AND THE "UNKNOWN" MAN WITH AN EXACT ADDRESS

The Romanian enforcement now deserves its full X-ray, because its own papers contain two demolitions.

The first is arithmetical. The original Spanish assessment came to 129,884.09 euros — 119,463.60 of principal plus 10,420.49 of interest (DOC-0215). The Romanian seizure resolution of 4 August 2016 enforces "EU Debts" of 797,888 lei: 178,000 euros (A.41). Along the way, the debt swelled by some 48,000 euros — 37% — whose breakdown was never notified to the debtor. There may be surcharges and interest that explain part of it; the exact calculation, which is what the law requires to be shown, was never shown. It was enforced against him.

The second demolition is geographical, and it is the one that closes the "untraceable" narrative forever. The Romanian enforcement itself notified the debtor at his tax domicile in Constanța — exact address, personal identification included — with notification No. 185630, of 25 April 2016 (A.41). The Spanish State, through its recovery instrument, had Apolozan's precise address in Romania since 2016.

Two and a half years later, the provision that opened the way to the European Arrest Warrant stated: "whereabouts unknown… possibly to be found outside Spain" (DOC-0145, p. 89; 23-10-2018). The same State. The same man. Located to the cent by the branch that collected; unknown to the branch that pursued. The non-location worked exactly where it was needed — and only there.
