A ticket controller within the state-owned station and stations, Orhei branch, was arrested Saturday by anti-corruption prosecutors and CNA officers. He is suspected of complicity in the illicit collection of financial means from national and international racing drivers, which include dozens of employees of the RStation and the auto stations.
The controller was placed in the CNA isolator for 72 hours and is investigated in the file starting at the beginning of 2018, where several employees of the company are accused of organizing a criminal scheme, collecting millions of lei from drivers to cover more many abuses committed in the field of passenger traffic.
In July, CNA and prosecutors detained several heads of territorial branches, dispatchers, controllers and cashiers, who were accused of committing passive, active and abuse of service.
According to the information gathered, national and international racing drivers were obliged to send daily cash to the cashiers who, in turn, accumulated the money from the drivers of all means of transport entering the station until the end of the day, further, according to the hierarchy.
As a result of the investigations, it was found that the amount collected monthly, through this scheme, amounted to 1.5 million lei - money perceived as satisfaction from drivers for their exemption from controls.
This was due to the fact that most transport units admitted more deviations, including surplus passengers, violation of the traffic chart, lack of records of purchased tickets, etc.
In order not to be subjected to checks and sanctions, they were obliged by transport operators to pay unlawful charges for each unit.
Investigations in this case continue to decompress all beneficiaries of the scheme.
