Customs investigators and prosecutors have dismantled a criminal gang, which used to introduce cars into Moldova by faking their production years.

Five people employed by car importing firms from Moldova are investigated in this case.

The investigators have identified 41 cars imported into Moldova in 2014-2015 by a company, as the production years of the vehicles were found as forged. Such a car costs from 700,000 to 1,500,000 lei.

If they are found guilty, the people face sentences from 3 to 10 years of jail.
