Smuggling of luxury cars, brought illegally from France, Italy and Holland. Three men, under criminal investigation
Three men from Hîncești are being investigated for smuggling seven luxury cars from France, Italy and the Netherlands, estimated at over 4.2 million lei. According to the PCCOCS, following the cooperation with the French authorities, 10 searches took place in Chisinau and Hîncești - the district where the three suspects are from. As a result, more than 170,000 lei were collected, allegedly from criminal activity, a universal key for starting stolen cars and other items important to the criminal case.
The police inform that one of the cars was picked up directly at the Leușeni crossing point, and the other six cars were picked up after three months of documenting the scheme.
The smuggled cars were reported as stolen in the European Union, and others were brought to our country with fake engine registration numbers.
Also, two other Moldovan citizens are being investigated in the same case in France.
Investigations in this case are ongoing.
