The Romanian Customs Authority reported the disappearance of nearly €700,000, which was seized in January 2026 at Otopeni Airport. The money was supposed to be returned to a traveler from Dubai, but only one banknote and paper sheets were found in the bag. An internal investigation has been initiated, and the police are looking into the circumstances of the disappearance. The storage area lacked video surveillance, complicating the investigation. Initially, a criminal case was opened against the money's owner but was later closed, allowing for the return of the funds, which were found missing upon retrieval.
