The administrator of Massaro Trans in Bacău has been placed under preventive arrest for 30 days due to a fraud case involving over 11.6 million lei. Prosecutors allege that the company illegally claimed reimbursements for over 157,000 travel coupons for seniors, which were used to report fictitious trips. The investigation focuses on how transport companies claim state subsidies for senior discounts. The administrator, identified as B.A.E., faces charges of illegal fund acquisition and forgery. Initially denied preventive arrest, the decision was overturned by the Court of Appeal. The fraudulent activities reportedly inflated the number of reported trips beyond the company's actual capacity, leading to significant financial losses for the state budget.
