He fled Romania in 1988, receiving a five year sentence for treason in his absence. He spent a year and a half in Germany as a political refugee in Germany before arriving in Britain in 1989. From 1989 to 2003, he worked as a producer for the BBC World Service Romanian section.<ref>[http://counterjihadeuropa.wordpress.com/conferences/counterjihad-brussels-2007/counterjihad-brussels-2007-biographies/ Biographies], CounterJihad Europa, accessed 13 December 2008.</ref>
Ungureanu was dismissed by the BBC following a restructuring of the department. He was known as a critic of Romanian governments and his departure was criticised by the opposition Liberal party and the [[Agency for Monitoring Press Freedoms]]. Two other Romanian BBC journalists resigned in protest at the decision.<ref>Opposition leaders, media group criticize dismissal of Romanian BBC journalist, by Alison Mutler, Associated Press, 7 November 2003.</ref>

In 2007, he was proposed by Foreign Minister [[Mihai-Razvan Ungureanu]] as ambassador to Great Britain, but the nomination was withdrawn after Prime Minister [[Calin Popescu-Tariceanu]] refused to approve it.<ref>Nominations for Romania's envoys to USA, UK unchanged - minister, BBC Monitoring Europe - Political, 31 July 2007.
