About this listen

Gregorian Bivolaru called himself a spiritual teacher—a tantric yoga master promising enlightenment. But behind the incense and mantras lay a far darker story. Accused of sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and psychological manipulation, Bivolaru allegedly used his Atman Yoga Federation—also known as MISA—as a front to control, exploit, and abuse followers across Europe.

From Romania to France, Finland to Denmark, investigators uncovered disturbing accounts of coercion, indoctrination, and exploitation disguised as “spiritual practice.” Already convicted in his home country and a wanted fugitive by Interpol under international arrest warrants, Bivolaru managed to evade justice for years—until a police operation in Paris finally caught up with him.

This is the story of a guru who built an empire on control, a cult that blurred the line between faith and fraud, and the victims who found the courage to speak out.

This is Fugitive Files. Let’s get into it.
