A Romanian mayor has sparked an outcry after he appeared in public apparently sporting an Adolf Hitler-style haircut and moustache.
The Romanian Centre for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism filed a complaint at the public prosecutor's office against Radu Mazare, who appears to have a penchant for the Nazi look.
Mazare, the mayor of Constanta, was investigated in 2009 for wearing a Wehrmacht uniform at a fashion show. He was photographed goose-stepping along the catwalk alongside scantily-clad women while doing Nazi salutes.
In a press conference held at a hairdresser's, Mazare said that he had not intended to cause offence with his haircut, which he said was popular among youngsters, and proceeded to have his hair restyled. He added that the moustache was "an optical illusion".
