Police executed 41 search warrants in Bucharest and surrounding counties related to a smuggling case. They seized over 169,000 cigarettes and significant amounts of cash. Investigations revealed that six individuals transported contraband cigarettes into Romania via an international train route, with the help of railway employees. The cigarettes were hidden in train compartments and later sold to colleagues. Three suspects were caught in the act on November 13, leading to their detention. A court later placed four individuals under house arrest and imposed judicial control on two others. Investigations continue under the supervision of the prosecutor's office.
