Risk up to 7 years in prison. Two policemen from the south, investigated by the NAC

Two policemen from the south were detained by the officers of the General Territorial Directorate South of the NAC and anticorruption prosecutors in a case of influence peddling. They allegedly helped a man to pass the practical test for the B category driving license.

According to the materials of the case, the policemen allegedly claimed to have influence on some employees from the Office of Registration of Transport Means and Drivers’ Qualification in Comrat. The suspects kept their promise and the whistleblower received his driving license. They would have demanded and received 400 euros for the “help”, later being detained in the parking lot of the Cahul police Inspectorate.

A criminal investigation for influence peddling was initiated in this case. A policeman was detained for 72 hours and taken to the headquarters of the GTD South of the NAC for questioning. If found guilty, they risk from 2 to 7 years of detention, criminal fine or deprivation of the right to carry out certain activity for a period of time.

We remind, every person is presumed to be innocent until the final and irrevocable decision of the court is pronounced.

Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office is conducting criminal investigation.
