Two customs inspectors from the Cahul-Oancea Post of the South Customs Office were reported to the NAC for claiming illicit financial means in the process of customs clearance of import and export goods.

According to the materials of the case, the inspectors allegedly demanded and systematically received from the passenger and parcel carriers cash between 100-500 euros, the amount varying depending on the value of the transported goods. As part of the criminal prosecution actions and the special investigative measures undertaken in the criminal case, several cases of claiming and receiving monetary means, as well as other material goods, were documented under the NAC control.

Today, the NAC officers carried out searches the Cahul-Oancea Customs Post, at the homes and cars of the suspects, from where they collected several pieces of evidence. The investigations continue under the procedural leadership of the prosecutors from the Cahul Prosecutor's Office.

We remind that any person shall be presumed innocent proven guilty according to the law.
