The relatives of the senior sub-officer of the Border Control Unit of the Chisinau International Airport Border Police Sector Sergey Muntean and of the airport security inspector Igor Ciofu, who were killed on June 30, will get by 1 million lei.

In the Cabinet’s meeting, Prime Minister Dorin Recean approved of the prompt and professional intervention of the police patrol that did its best to prevent hostage taking and isolated the criminal.
