Five persons, one of whom an employee of the Ministry of the Interior, were arrested for attempt to put forged money brought from Bulgaria into circulation in Moldova, Info-Prim Neo reports. In a news conference on Monday, Bogdan Zumbreanu, deputy division head at the Center for Combating Corruption and Economic Crime, said the members of the group managed to smuggle from Bulgaria US$61,500 out of the US$1,000,000 that they intended to put into circulation in Moldova. The forgers intended to put into practice a classical scheme – change the counterfeit bills for fewer genuine bills. The forged dollars were seized by anti-corruption officers. The members of the group, most of whom are unemployed, are held at the Center’s remand unit. They face 7 to 15 years in jail.
