Adriean Videanu (b. 1 June 1962 in Crevenicu, Teleorman County) is a businessman and former mayor of Bucharest, Romania. He is also a vice president of the Democratic Liberal Party of Romania, which is led by Emil Boc and the Minister of Economy in the Boc Cabinet, from 22 December 2008.
A businessman in the marble and granite industry, Videanu was elected mayor in early April 2005, gathering 53.01% of the Bucharest electorate's vote, but the turnout was the lowest since 1989, with only 24.83% of the voters turning up.
Starting with 2008 Videanu is under corruption investigation regarding a business with raw materials for constructions (i.e. curbstones). His own companies were involved in the scandalous affair of the "curbstonization" of the Romanian capital city, Bucharest. A large number of streets from Romanian capital were paved with new curbstones imported from China during the period of 2006-2008. The traffic was severely disturbed, rising the dissatisfaction of Bucharest inhabitants. According to some preliminary data Videanu's companies obtained illegally 4 million euros from state funds.[1]
He and his wife Mioriţa have two children, Andrei-Valentin and Diana-Alexandra.
