Law enforcement agencies in Romania and Moldova have conducted several operations targeting drug trafficking networks.
In Romania, authorities in Iași and Bârnova arrested a 36-year-old man for the repeated sale of cocaine. During searches, police recovered 53 doses of cocaine, additional quantities hidden in a cellar, precision scales, and cash. In Cluj-Napoca, two men were detained for allegedly selling psychoactive substances for 50 lei per dose over a three-year period. Additionally, a 37-year-old man in Curtea de Argeș was placed under preventive arrest after police discovered one kilogram of cannabis and a mature cannabis plant at his residence.
In Moldova, officers in Chișinău dismantled a criminal cell operating via the Telegram application. A 22-year-old suspect was arrested in flagrante while attempting to hide drugs; police seized approximately 250 grams of mephedrone and packaging materials. The suspect faces a potential prison sentence of 15 to 17 years.
