More than 8,600 vignettes (proof of payment of road tax) to the value of about 2.5 million lei have been issued in the course of last week, the Customs Service has said, quoted by IPN.

The Service warns the motorists not to falsify the vignette as they face punishment. Ten cases of falsification of the vignette were identified last week. The culprits were fined a total of 100,000 lei. The attempts to falsify the vignette are detected with the help of the automated monitoring system managed by the Service.

Over 61,000 cars, about 16,000 trucks and approximately 1,900 buses crossed Moldova’s border in both directions last week. Most of the units of transport crossed the state border through the customs posts Sculeni, Leuseni, and Giurgiulesti.
