In Romania he belonged to a criminal group specialized in the sale of illegally built attics, with shortages or even unstructured in different counties in Moldavia (Iasi, Bacău) and Bucharest. The group was led by Teodor Coman, also called "Atticus King", this last one sentenced to 14 years in prison with execution.
The DNA prosecutors have shown that offenders have deceived 73 people with 6.5 million lei. Iulian Vasile Ilie was the sales manager of Coman, the man who put pressure on buyers to give the money upfront, so it was invisible and did not answer the phones. "The total amount of 6,546,333.67 lei, coming from contracts entered into with the deceived people, was introduced into the financial circuit of the construction companies for subsequent use for their own benefit by the defendants", said the prosecutors of the DNA in the indictment.
After 5 years of lawsuits, on December 22, 2016, the Court of Appeal of Iaşi pronounced itself definitively in this case, all the defendants were sentenced to jail with the execution, with sentences ranging from 7 at the age of 14. "I condemn the accused Elijah (ex Carpa) Iulian-Vasile for a ten-year detention period for committing crimes of deception and money laundering, both in continuous form", thus the magistrates' sentence.

He left the country before the last sentence
Immediately after the first instance in Iasi (February 2015), Iulian Vasile Ilie went to the United States where he was appointed parish priest in June in the Romanian church of Palm Springs (California, United States of America) by the Archbishop Nathaniel, head of the Romanian Orthodox episcopate in America.
"When he came to us, he received $ 4000 from the parish, I gave him a monthly wage of $ 3,000, including the cost of the house he was in, a house that was ours, but the priest was dissatisfied with the income he received. from us ", says a member of the parish of" Archangels Michael and Gavriil "in Palm Springs.
People say that the priest was not very close to believers, and his behavior was more like a monk than a parson. "He formed a group of people (the council) with whom he directed everything in the church before which he stood out and listened.The rest of the people pretended to be silent, many of them feared the curses that the servant could do. we knew about his problems, we would not have received ", says the parishioner.
Missed before Christmas
People did not suspect that the one who served for more than three years (2015-2018) was a crime in his native country, and the first suspicions that there is something wrong appeared in December 2018, before Christmas, when the priest he disappeared simply from the parish.
The diocese wrote to the parishioners that Elijah had problems with those of the emigrants who did not want to extend the visa and had to return to Romania. "We have been informed by the US emigration service that Father Ilie Vasile has an unclear immigration situation, which means his return to Romania," said the Archbishop. "He disappeared overnight and the parish council was ordered to invent, to change the keys of his church office, perhaps the bishop knew he was a thief and wanted to make sure he did not diminish the wealth of the church," adds the American parish priest remain anonymous.

Archbishop Nathaniel prefers silence
The diocese of Orthodox Orthodox America was established in April 1929 and was formally recognized by the Romanian Orthodox Church (BOR) on November 1, 1930. After the establishment of the communists in power in Romania in 1947, the Congress special of the Episcopate of America refused the nomination of bishop Antim Nica as bishop in the United States on the basis of his studies in Moscow. At the same time, Congress decides to declare autonomy towards the BOR. Therefore, the Romanian Orthodox diocese of America does not belong to the BOR, but is part of the Orthodox Church in America, the former Russian-Orthodox metropolitan.
Initially, the Orthodox Episcopate of America sent the reporters to Adevărul who would provide some information about the priest, and then, several hours later, Archbishop Nathaniel sent by e-mail that they did not provide no information about their employees. "We inform you that the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate in America does not provide information on its employees, whether they are priests or lay people.This procedure is consistent with US law.The Romanian Orthodox episcopate of America is part of the Orthodox Church in America, whose canonical and legal practices and procedures follow them, "wrote the hierarch.
However, within a few hours of receiving the message, the episcopate website, at the presentation of the priest Elia, was mentioned as "suspended". "If they have suspended him from work, it means that he did something, the problems with the emigrants were probably not suspended", adds the American parishioners.
People also say that in 2015 the young priest came before them telling him that he also served in Romania at "several parishes in Alexandria". "Ili Iulian Vasile was a cleric in the diocese of Alexandria and Teleorman for several months (in the parish of Crângu), after which he requested the transfer to a parish of the Romanian Orthodox episcopate in America. 2015 came out of the jurisdiction of the episcopate of Alexandria and Teleorman ", explained the representatives of the diocese of Alexandria and Teleorman for" Adevărul ".
The Romanian police are still looking for him
The photo of Ilie Vasile Iulian appears on the site of the Romanian police in "People drawn". "He is evading a ten-year prison sentence for committing the crime of deception, a European arrest warrant has been issued on behalf of the wanted person," writes the police.
After believers found out that a police priest had been serving in their church for three years, a believer wrote to the Iasi County Police Inspectorate to let him know he was in California. "If you have more information about it or you can get more information, I am grateful if you can provide it to me (an approximate time when there is someone else in his family in the United States, people in the entourage, a possible address to which he or she lives, if he has owned or possessed legal documents of residence or work in the United States, owned cars, social network accounts, "was the response received from the IPJ Iaşi Criminal Investigation Service, according to the parishioner.
Adevărul journalists demanded a point of view from the Romanian police, but did not arrive at the time of the closing of the edition. Moreover, the priest Iulian Vasile Ilie could not be contacted to explain the situation.
