According to the materials of the case, the inspector would have claimed 300 euros from a driver not to introduce into the database of the Customs Service information on the illicit importing from Ukraine to the Republic of Moldova, through the Transnistrian region, of three cars, with Lithuanian registration numbers.

If convicted, the man risks imprisonment from 3 to 7 years with a fine ranging from 4 000 to 6 000 conventional units and with the deprivation of the right to hold certain public functions or to exercise certain activities for the period from 5 to10 years.
The suspect is detained for 72 hours. We remind, that every person is presumed to be innocent until the final and irrevocable decision of the court is pronounced.
