The Criminal Assets Recovery Agency (CARA) of the NAC raised funds, equivalent to approximately 675,000 lei, in the criminal case in which three employees of the Customs Service and a broker are being investigated. It is about 5,000 euros and 29,950 dollars, deposited in a bank entity in a safe deposit box, which belong to the family of one of the extras in the file.

According to the ordinance, the search was authorized for the purpose of verifying information regarding the accused's possession of objects or valuables, resulting from the incriminated crime, and which may be subject to special or extended confiscation. Currently, the collected money is subject to expert examination, and its provenance will be determined later.

We remind that the three customs employees and the broker, detained a week ago by the NAC and the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office, are in preventive detention. They are accused of committing corruption crimes by claiming and receiving financial means from economic agents for organizing the reduction of the customs value of goods introduced into the Republic of Moldova.

The Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office is conducting the criminal investigation.
