Romanian prosecutors conduct raids in diesel tax evasion probe involving officials

Romanian anti-organized crime prosecutors (DIICOT) launched dozens of searches across multiple counties as part of an investigation into a major tax evasion scheme involving diesel transactions. According to law enforcement statements and judicial sources, the raids targeted high-ranking public and corporate officials, including the head of the Constanța Customs Office, executives from Oil Terminal, customs officers, and employees of CEC Bank.

Investigators suspect systemic tax fraud orchestrated through fraudulent fuel sales and manipulation of trade documentation. Authorities have not yet disclosed the full extent of the financial damage caused to the state budget as search operations and evidence collection remain ongoing.
