Editing Horațiu Wesselescu (section)

== Personal life ==

Wesselescu married Adriana Marin in the late 1980s, and the couple had two children. Publicly, the family maintained a private and conventional image. They were associated with professional circles linked to engineering, administration, energy policy, and upper-level industrial management.

Former colleagues described him as punctual, repetitive in daily routine, and strongly attached to physical documents. He preferred typed memoranda, printed route sheets, and personally reviewed contract summaries. He was also known to carry a leather document case containing technical notes, site maps, and meeting papers.

Outside work, he was associated with fishing along the Danube, older engineering manuals, imported watches, and formal private dinners with a narrow circle of administrators and businessmen. He was said to distrust journalists, dislike public attention, and believe that technical institutions should remain difficult for outsiders to understand.

His personal life became more isolated during the last decade of his career as the criminal risk surrounding his contractor network increased.
