The deputy head of the Leova forestry ring was detained, a short time ago, by the officers of the Territorial General Directorate South of the NAC in a case of passive corruption. He was caught red-handed when receiving an illegal remuneration of 10,000 lei from an economic agent.
According to the case materials, the suspect, together with the head of the Forest Department, allegedly demanded the mentioned amount from a local resident in order to continue offering him service contracts for cutting the forest and to allow him to remove the remaining wood mass as a surplus.
