It seems that the Becalis were minions of Ceausescu's regime. The family were mainly sheperds and were selling dairy products to various foreigners living in Romania [diplomats, students, Arabs...]. Big underground business despite the socialist state. Hence they were full of dollars despite the fact that Ceausescu's law was forbidding the possesion of foreign currency. Gigi Becali publicly admitted in a TV talkshow that in 1989 he had some 150.000 USD. Gained how? Him and his cousin Ioan were involved in the underground business [buy/sell]with Western merchandise, under the umbrella of Securitate [Ceausescu's secret police], especially in the Black Sea coast's resorts. His cousin Ioan was pretending to be Italian in front of western female tourists in order to scam them [from were the "Giovanni" nickname]. Nevertheless, Gigi Becali is a philantropist and lots of families from his Pipera area adore him. It is presumed that he knows lots of things about Ceausescu's overthrown, reason for which all governments are living him alone. As a diverse fact it is interesting to know that under Ceausescu's regime some sheperds were so rich that they were asking him to allow them to buy a... helicopter in order to survey their herds. They had the money [shepherds of Jina and Poiana in Sibiu county] for a helicopter ! Of course Ceausescu did not give the OK. Recently media stated that Gigi Becali's fortune exceeds 500 million USD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bogdangiusca ( talk • contribs)
It has been said before: Gigi is a nickname - the actual name is "George". I asked for it to be moved to
George Becali, because of this reason, it was, and now someone undoes this, and brings it back to Gigi? May I at least know why?
I'm gonna ask for it to be moved again, and will not remove the demand, unless someone comes with a good reason (which I fail to find).

I know this is not a forum, but... This page has more edits than the articles on Mihai Eminescu, Carol I of Romania or Stephen the Great. I am not actually that shocked, but extremely saddened that this article about a person who hasn't actuall done ANYTHING for Romania except sell tabloids and probably instigated to violence gets this much attention. Nergaal ( talk) 15:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I think it's better to move it to George Becali. Anton Tudor ( talk) 17:52, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
All right, but I remember when Gigi runed for elections. He had full name taken from CI (carte de identitate) on the papers. Anton Tudor ( talk) 18:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Ethnicity = Aromanian?? La Hagi cand am scris asta ati sters in 24 de ore. Cum... Hagi e roman 100%, "macedo-roman" i-auzi, si alte vrajeli scrise si prin presa; dar de Gigi Becali... E "makedon", e "aroman", nu e roman, e complet diferit. Ce caractere aveti, mai rau ca Becali sunteti.
Sunt complet de acord sa scrieti ca e "Aromanian", dar scrieti asa si despre Hagi, Caragiale, Toma Caragiu, Nicu Constantin, Elena Ghoerghe, Zicu etc Doar cand va convine scrieti ca e makedon? Or ii asumati pe toti or pe niciunul... 89.35.62.12 ( talk) 04:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
