The Romanian Customs Authority has initiated an internal investigation following the disappearance of nearly 700,000 euros confiscated from a passenger arriving from Dubai. The money was seized on January 9, 2026, at Henri Coandă International Airport and was stored pending legal clarification. During a recent check, it was discovered that the bag containing the money held only one banknote and sheets of paper. The storage area lacks video surveillance, although the access corridor is monitored. Police are investigating the circumstances of the disappearance, while the internal audit focuses on adherence to retention and storage procedures.
