More than 21 million lei was collected into the state budget in the first eight months of this year after selling confiscated property and currency, as opposed to over 7 million lei in the corresponding period last year. The State Tax Service most often has to sell tobacco products, industrial goods, alcoholic beverages and foods.

In a response to an inquiry made by IPN, the State Tax Service said the confiscated goods are transmitted to it by the bodies of the Ministry of the Interior, the Prosecutor General’s Office, the National Anticorruption Center, bailiffs and the Security and Intelligence Service.

The confiscated goods are sold through the Universal Commodity Exchange of Moldova, through consignation, based on the sale-purchase contract or on a contest basis.

The goods that hold no commercial interest or are not in demand on the market are transmitted gratis to child protection, reintegration and family support divisions, children’s homes, residential institutions for persons with disabilities and other institutions based on the decision of a special commission, except for the goods that are to be destroyed in accordance with the legislation.
