Moldovan customs officers discovered undeclared diamonds in a postal parcel sent from India and addressed to a resident of the Republic of Moldova. The precious stones were seized and may be confiscated if the court so decides, IPN reports.

The case was registered at the Chisinau 4 customs post (PVI Posta). Customs officials examined the contents of the parcel and, in addition to the declared jewelry, found 30 stones presumed to be precious, which were not listed in the accompanying documents.

Laboratory tests confirmed that these stones are diamonds. The case is being further investigated as a misdemeanor, and the package has been seized pending the court’s decision.



Meteorologists have issued a yellow heatwave warning for this weekend. In most parts of the country, the maximum temperatures will reach +34 degrees Celsius, reports IPN.

The warning is valid for the center, south, and east of the country. Several districts in the north are also under the yellow code. The northernmost districts of the country such as Briceni, Ocnita, Edinet, Drochia, Soroca, Glodeni, Rascani, and Donduseni – are not affected by the warning.

According to the Authority for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring, the warning can be updated depending on the evolution of weather phenomena.

During periods of heatwave, authorities recommend people to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours, to consume enough fluids, and to pay increased attention to children, the elderly, and people with chronic conditions.
