Two women from Ukraine, refugees in Moldova, were arrested in Chisinau in a drug trafficking case. The seizure is estimated at 20 million lei, reports IPN.

According to the Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Organized Crime and Special Cases, the women would have received the drugs through smuggling parcels. In total, investigators seized 19 kg of heroin, alpha-PVP (“salt”), mephedrone, methadone, ketamine, amphetamine, and cocaine. They also found 600 ecstasy pills.

The suspects, aged 30 and 33, carried the packages to a rented apartment in Chisinau. There, the drugs were divided into smaller doses and put up for sale online, through the Telegram app.

The women have been detained. They risk up to 15 years in prison.



The National Agency for Energy Regulation will examine on Friday the request from Energocom regarding the increase in natural gas prices. The subject was included on the agenda of the ANRE meeting on July 24, reports IPN.

Energocom has requested an increase in the regulated price for consumers connected to low-pressure distribution networks from 13.35 lei to 19.37 lei per cubic meter, excluding VAT.

The request is motivated by the increase in natural gas procurement costs, against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the volatility of international markets. According to Energocom, these have generated an estimated tariff deficit of around 106 million lei.
