The magistrates of the Bălți municipal court today issued preventive arrest warrants for 30 days on behalf of the customs officer from the Sculeni customs post and his accomplice, detained by the NAC and prosecutors in a corruption case. The official, but also his accomplice, are targeted in a case of bribery in the amount of more than 10,000 euros, allegedly from a parcel carrier to ensure the unimpeded passage of a batch of contraband goods through the said customs post.

Also, today, the judges at the Chisinau Court, Ciocana headquarters, examined the prosecutors' approach regarding the preventive arrest for 30 days of the man, detained by the NAC officers in the bribery case of over 1,000,000 lei.
