A criminal group suspected of stealing goods from around 70 commercial transports, mainly from Romania and Belgium, was targeted in a large-scale operation. Authorities conducted 65 searches in Romania, identifying 11 suspects, while five were arrested in Belgium. The group allegedly posed as legitimate transporters, taking commercial loads and stealing them, causing significant losses to affected companies. Various methods were used to execute the thefts, including transferring goods to different vehicles and simulating thefts. The investigation, which began in March 2024, involved around 35 members with specific roles. Romanian and Belgian authorities have been collaborating since February 2026, with ongoing investigations to determine the full extent of the group's activities.
