Today, April 25, the police officers of the Constanța Municipal Criminal Investigation Service, under the guidance of the case prosecutor from the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Constanța Court, are conducting three house searches in a criminal case regarding the commission of fraud and blackmail crimes.
The searches are carried out at the homes of three men suspected in the case, from the city of Bucharest and the counties of Ilfov and Cluj.
According to the investigations so far, between May 2022 and February 2024, the three misled three other people from Constanța county and the municipality of Bucharest, claiming that they were engineers employed by a certain commercial company and convincing them to conclude service contracts with them, to carry out works to expand and repair the victims’ buildings.
Thus, they collected a total advance of 95,000 lei from the injured persons, after which they carried out temporary works, which do not correspond to the technical norms in force.
At the same time, the three men forced the victims to send them the total sum of 176,000 lei, threatening them that the workers would leave the work they had started and leave them without roofs.
The specialized support of the action was provided by the Special Operations Directorate of the Romanian Police, and police officers from the Bucharest Criminal Investigation Service, the General Police Directorate of the City of Bucharest, the Ilfov and Cluj county police inspectorates, as well as fighters from within the services for special actions in Bucharest, Ilfov and Cluj.
