A police officer from Târgu-Jiu, who works in the Public Order Bureau, is under investigation for pimping, being accused of collecting rent from apartments used for prostitution. These properties belong to his father, a well-known businessman in the area. According to sources, the police officer would go to collect the money even dressed in his service uniform.
Prosecutors have ordered judicial control measures against him, and the searches carried out by the Gorj Organized Crime Fighting Service targeted several locations in Târgu-Jiu and Bucharest. The investigation focuses on the rental activity of the apartments, where young women practiced prostitution. There are suspicions that the police officer benefits from the protection of his superiors in the police. The investigations continue, and the expansion of these for other criminal acts is a possibility.
