The Anticorruption Center said it identified a network, involving 12 customs officers and 16 companies, which was organizing the illegal pass of heavy trucks into and out of Moldova, Info-Prim Neo reports. The Center's director Sergiu Puscuta said that the network was using ghost-firms and offshore companies to mime legal activity. It also used bribes ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 to influence customs officers and brokers. One of the illegal deals orchestrated by the group involved a truck reportedly loaded with 72,000 linear meters of plastic curtain tracks. But when checking the customs statement against the one issued by the Romanian customs authorities, the Center discovered that the truck had been carrying not one but 50 types of goods, like footwear, carpets, tires, and curtain tracks, too, but their actual value was only 3,000 lei. The Center has double-checked roughly 100 suspect customs statements in the period 2007-2008, with about 200 more to follow. Puscuta also said that the Center has been cooperating closely with Romanian and Ukrainian authorities to crack down on such offenses.
