A criminal network, active since 2020, was disrupted by 15 raids in Ialomita, Iasi, Ilfov and Alba counties. Members of the group, made up of 19 people, offered loans with exorbitant interest rates of between 10% and 100%, intimidating borrowers in case of default. They also laundered the ill-gotten money by buying luxury cars in Hungary through shell companies, thus hiding the illicit origin of the capital. Investigators estimate that the group smuggled around €2 million into the civil circuit.
