Vintilă Weiss, also Vais or Veis (17 March or 1 April 1921 – 17 January 1974), was a Romanian communist and officer of the Securitate who was for a while imprisoned and tortured by the communist regime. Of Jewish origin, he joined the outlawed Romanian Communist Party in 1938, and remained its member throughout World War II. Immediately after the anti-fascist coup of August 1944, he took a law degree from the University of Bucharest, entered the General Police Directorate, and rose through its ranks to become commissioner, then Chestor. He was then assigned to the Romanian Kingdom's intelligence service, Siguranța, and tenured by the Securitate upon the establishment of a communized republic. Tasked with checking and granting passports, Weiss was in contact with various diplomats, and attracted suspicion that he was feeding them classified information through one of his sisters. The Securitate demoted him in 1948, and then arrested him in 1950; during subsequent interrogations, most of which were held under torture, he sometimes acknowledged the existence of a spy ring, and sometimes recanted.
