One of the convicts was arrested in one month of the commission of the crime, while the other one was arrested in the Russian Federation in about eight months of the robbery and was extradited to Moldova. The investigation of the two accomplices continues. The two were put on the wanted list.
The court also obliged the culprits to pay 228,000 lei damages to the injured party and 20,000 lei court costs.
