Romanian prosecutors have been busy dismantling yet another tax evasion ring, with damages exceeding EUR 2.5 million. The tax evasion and money laundering crime ring was operating in Bucharest and in the counties Giurgiu, Prahova and Vâlcea. The Police searched several homes and offices on Monday morning ( February 26 ) to find bills, registers and accounting documents relating to the case.

The crime group had been buying oil products from the EU market and dodged taxes to the Romanian state by using their own internal tax evasion circuit. The Police monitored the group for several months. The group's leader, whose name was not mentioned, is already under preventive arrest for a similar crime.
