Ilie's military and political career was helped by Nicolae; between 1980 and 1989, he was a member of the
Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party
, and, in 1982-1989, he was Deputy Minister of Defense.
Ilie Ceaușescu was also a historian, and he influenced Nicolae in establishing
Slavs, Mongols
) etc.:
It is well known that the Romanian people remained always the same, consolidated, unitary and homogeneous in the hearth it had always occupied.[2]
After the
Romanian Revolution and the execution of Nicolae Ceaușescu, in 1990 it was claimed that both Ilie Ceaușescu and Marin Ceaușescu was involved in a series of transactions between the United States and Romania, which consisted of selling Soviet military technology. The deal was worth $40 million, part of which was allegedly deposited in Swiss bank accounts. However, Ilie Ceaușescu rejected that.[3]
After his release he retired from public life, and died 13 years later at the age of 76.[4]
