A man from Comrat has been detained again in a case of influence peddling when issuing driving licenses. He is suspected of having demanded 7500 lei for a school certificate and 1200 euro for successfully passing the driving exams, IPN reports.
The National Anti-Corruption Center says that the suspect allegedly told the license applicant that he had influence over the employees of the Comrat Vehicle Registration and Drivers' Documentation Department and some officials of a driving school.
Following the complaint lodged with the NAC, a criminal case for influence peddling was opened and the suspect's actions were documented, including the transmission of the alleged money under NAC control.
Today, he was detained while receiving the last installment and the money was found and picked up in the immediate vicinity of the place of detention, after the suspect had thrown it into a ventilation hole of a residential block.
The detained person is being investigated as a defendant in two other cases initiated by the NAC for influence peddling in the issuing of driving licenses and illegal financing of a political party.
