The case involving the Balti police officers was transferred from the Center for Combating Corruption and Economic Crime to the Nord Service of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office, Info-Prim Neo reports. On July 25, an officer of the Patrol and Sentinel Battalion of the Balti Police Commissariat was arrested by anticorruption officers for asking for 2 000 lei from a driver for allowing him not to take the breath test. His colleague managed to run away. Though the anticorruption officers presented themselves, the policeman fired two shots – one in the air and another one at the officers. Legal action was taken over passive corruption. The prosecutors will also investigate the deeds of the policeman and the legality of the steps taken by the anticorruption officers involved in the arrest operation, the Prosecutor General’s Office says in a communiqué.
