Investigators have detained seven individuals and placed another 13 under judicial control in a case of defrauding the public pension system, with an estimated damage of 7 million lei.

The criminal network, which also included public officials, sold fictitious work seniority to vulnerable individuals in exchange for amounts between 15,000 and 50,000 lei.

The searches conducted in Bucharest and seven other counties led to the confiscation of money, documents, and storage devices.

"Following the searches carried out yesterday, amounts of   114,330 euros and  373,490 lei, 110 data storage devices, 4 tokens used for digital signatures, 160 stamps with various impressions, 87 work books (in original), holographic writings, documents, a non-lethal weapon with compressed air, as well as other means of evidence were found and seized," stated the DIICOT communiqué.

Prosecutors have requested preventive detention for six defendants, while for another defendant, the DIICOT - Central Structure has taken the measure of judicial control. The investigation revealed that, in the last five years, a fictitious seniority was generated for over 860 beneficiaries.

Members of the network used non-profit associations and shell companies to issue false documents.
