A police officer from IJP Prahova was detained for bribery after demanding 1,000 lei from a driver who did not yield the right of way. The incident occurred on January 9, 2026, when the officer requested undue benefits to avoid applying a contravention sanction.


On January 13, the officer was caught in the act while receiving the sum of money from a whistleblower. The investigation was coordinated by the Prosecutor's Office next to the Prahova Tribunal, and the defendant will be presented to the judge with a proposal for preventive arrest. This case highlights corruption issues within law enforcement agencies.
