Investigators uncovered that an organized crime ring had blocked several INTERPOL red notices for at least 28 fugitives using forged documents. The scheme, involving Moldova's Directorate for International Police Cooperation (DCPI) and the General Directorate for Migration (IGM), allowed individuals to be illegally registered in INTERPOL databases.

Authorities have identified over €7 million in suspicious transactions linked to the case, including bribes in the form of luxury cars. Today, the Prosecutor’s Office issued final indictments against the former heads of DCPI and IGM. Previously, a lawyer and the former president of INTERPOL’s Files Control Commission were also charged.
