According to the Court of Auditors’ report on the audit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ consolidated financial statements for 2025, this concerns the infrastructure built as part of the TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) project. This includes 28 telecommunications masts and 16 technical cabins, with an estimated value of 31.2 million lei.

The project, funded from external sources to the tune of approximately 10.2 million euros, has not yet been finalised from a legal or asset management perspective. The procedures for the handover and transfer of the assets have not been completed due to disputes between the economic operators involved in the subcontracting of the works. The legal proceedings have been ongoing since 2012.

Consequently, although the infrastructure is used by the General Inspectorate of Border Police and serves the public interest, from a legal perspective it continues to be listed as the property of a private entity.

This situation has given rise to significant risks: to secure commercial debts of approximately 2.3 million lei, the bailiff has attached strategic assets valued at 31.2 million lei.

Furthermore, according to the Court of Auditors’ report, the bailiff prohibited any intervention on the infrastructure, including by public authorities. This situation also restricts the possibility of carrying out maintenance work on the facilities.

The Court of Auditors’ report will be examined at the meeting of the Committee on Public Financial Control, which is due to take place on Tuesday, 3 November.
