Police officer suspected of taking bribes in trafficking, detained by officers of the Anti-Corruption General Directorate

A police officer has been detained by the officers of the National Anti-Corruption Directorate, being suspected of corruption. According to sources from the police, he allegedly stopped drivers in traffic and requested money under the pretext of traffic fines.

It is also mentioned that the officer may have a gambling addiction. A few months ago, the man was presented as a 'hero' in the public space after he intervened to save a man from the Mureș River. Prosecutors are set to establish the legal framework of the act and the necessary legal measures in this case.
