Two Capital Police Officers Detained for Bribery After Sting Operation. How They Split the Bribe.

Two officers from the Capital's Detention and Preventive Arrest Center No. 10, affiliated with Section 19 of the Police, have been apprehended following a sting operation. Prosecutors from the Bucharest Tribunal's Prosecutor's Office suspect the officers of accepting bribes to facilitate unauthorized access for a woman to visit an inmate. The investigation, as detailed by Adevărul, centers on allegations that the officers accepted money to allow visits outside legal parameters, specifically for intimate encounters. One officer, aged 48, is being investigated for two counts of bribery, while a 25-year-old colleague faces one count. The incidents reportedly occurred on April 22 and May 7, with the older officer allegedly receiving money and then sharing a portion with his colleague. Prosecutors have requested pre-trial detention for both individuals, highlighting the seriousness of the alleged corruption within the detention system. This case underscores ongoing concerns about integrity within law enforcement and the justice system in Romania.
