Nearly 700,000 euros confiscated at Otopeni Airport have gone missing, prompting an internal investigation by the Romanian Customs Authority. The police have been notified to investigate the circumstances surrounding the theft. The money was seized from a traveler arriving from Dubai in January 2026 and was stored for legal clarification. Upon checking the storage bag, only one banknote and paper sheets were found. The storage area lacks video surveillance, although access corridors are monitored. The police are examining the situation while the Customs Authority reviews adherence to retention and storage procedures.
