Seven police officers from Sibiu are among nine individuals detained in a corruption case involving over 170 alleged offenses. The investigation, led by the Sibiu Tribunal Prosecutor's Office, focuses on bribery and influence peddling related to driving permits and identity documents. A 57-year-old man is suspected of soliciting bribes ranging from 100 lei to 1,500 euros, promising to expedite processes with police officers. The operation, named "JUPITER," executed 14 search warrants on November 4, 2026, and the suspects face a 24-hour detention. Prosecutors will decide on further preventive measures soon, with support from various law enforcement agencies.
