The police of the Cluj-Napoca Organized Crime Fighting Brigade, in collaboration with DIICOT prosecutors and judicial authorities from France, have dismantled a Romanian criminal network specialized in money laundering, drug trafficking, and tax evasion. Since 2018, four Romanian citizens have created legal entities in France to disguise large sums of money derived from illegal activities, transferring over 300 million euros through accounts controlled by the group. Part of the funds was reinvested in real estate in Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest, and Satu Mare.
Following the searches, authorities confiscated documents, jewelry, over 23,000 euros, and suspicious banknotes. European arrest warrants have been issued for suspects, and investigations continue, involving other Romanian citizens as well. The operation benefited from international support, including from Europol and EUROJUST. Authorities emphasize that the individuals under investigation are entitled to the procedural rights provided by law.
