The case is related to an enterprise controlled by an entity included in the sanctions lists. The discovered scheme is an addition to the scheme worth over 173,000,000 lei reported by the STS in March.

According to the legislation, legal entities controlled by the subject of sanctions measures can accept cash from individuals who do not carry out entrepreneurial activity in the amount not exceeding 1,000 lei per one payment in retail trade.

According to the investigation, in order to avoid these restrictions, the enterprise fictitiously used the voucher system.

The purchase for the amount of 2000 lei was paid in cash, but the economic agent recorded only 1000 lei as cash payment in the accounting department, and the rest was formalized in the form of a voucher.

According to preliminary data, the scheme was implemented since December 2025 by a group of persons, who are still being identified.

During 39 searches with the support of Fulger Battalion officers, law enforcers seized computer equipment, phones, cash, accounting documents and other items. Investigative actions are ongoing.
