THE TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF ELENA AND NIKOLAI CEAUSESCU 25/12/89

After a very brief trial lasting about an hour, Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena were found guilty of a number of what are termed “grave crimes” against the Romanian people, such as gathering illegal wealth and genocide.

On Christmas Day 1989, Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena were shot by firing squad.
