The trafficker from Oradea caught by the police with the help of “Burghezu”, sentenced to 3 years in prison with execution

Florin Simuț was investigated in a DIICOT Oradea file, after a whistleblower told the anti-drug police that he received a sample of hashish from Florin Simuț. Shortly after, on February 25, 2019, a police officer, “Burghezu”, met the suspect near the Velenta square. The trafficker told him that he has two kilograms of very good quality hashish, which he sells for 5,500 euros.

They decided to make the transaction the next day, when they met in the parking lot of a shopping center in Oradea, from where they left for some nearby blocks. From a car parked in the area, Simuț took a bag with 20 boxes of hashish and gave it to the collaborator of the investigators, from whom he received the money. It was then that the anti-drug officers intervened and caught the suspect.

The magistrates found out that Florin Simuț was also sentenced, in 2014, in Spain, to two years of suspended prison and spent four months in prison, in 2018, for driving a car without a license. Even though they noticed that he revised his behavior, committed himself and showed sincerity during the trial, the judges of the Court decided to sentence the Oradean to three years in prison with execution. “The punishment was established in consideration of the large amount of high-risk drug sold by the defendant (almost 2 kg of hashish) and his criminal antecedents”, explained the magistrates whose sentence was upheld by the Oradea Court of Appeal.
