<p>There has been very little public investigation. This is what I could find:<p><a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/investigation-ties-romanian-liberals-tiktok-campaign-pro-russia-candidate-calin-georgescu/" rel="nofollow">https://www.politico.eu/article/investigation-ties-romanian-...</a><p>The Romanian National Liberal Party (opponents of Georgescu) bought the campaign. Their hashtag was "hijacked" (whatever that means) to boost Georgescu instead.<p>I do not know how TikTok works. Perhaps it is as simple as Georgescu supporters simply using the paid for hashtag for their own messages.<p>So, <i>according to this article</i>, the Russians did nothing. The Liberal Party engaged in questionable TikTok interference and Georgescu supporters jumped on the bandwagon.<p>The Western media falling silent on the issue would indicate that this politico.eu is correct.</p>
