DIICOT prosecutors discovered 20 luxury cars in Italy, part of a network that obtained loans and leases with false documents.

On February 5, 2026, prosecutors from the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, with the support of Italian authorities, discovered 20 luxury cars in a garage in Italy, worth approximately 1.7 million euros. These vehicles were purchased by an organized criminal group that used false documents to obtain loans and leases. The action was part of a broader investigation, which included raids in Bucharest and the counties of Iași and Ilfov, with an estimated damage of over 7 million euros.

The criminal network, consisting of 14 individuals, was coordinated by an international fugitive and used companies with a good credit history to obtain funds through falsified documents. Authorities have implemented preventive measures, including the seizure of luxury cars, gold bars, and bank accounts of the suspects. The action benefited from the collaboration of the Office of the Attaché for Internal Affairs in Italy and the Carabinieri from Bergamo.
