Mită pentru controale „de formă” la granița cu Ucraina. 19 persoane, vizate într-un dosar de corupție la frontieră

A corruption investigation has revealed a scheme involving bribes for lax border checks at Romania's frontier with Ukraine. Nineteen individuals are implicated, with eleven facing preventive detention. The accused include customs officials and a border police agent, charged with bribery and influence peddling. The alleged scheme operated from October 2024 to September 2025, allowing illegal goods to pass through border points. Some individuals received money and goods for superficial inspections, while others are under judicial control. The investigation also highlights a police officer's failure to report bribery attempts.
