Police in Galati seized 35 luxury cars worth about 2.8 million euros as part of a money-laundering investigation. The operation, carried out on 8 November 2026, involved 25 home searches in the Galati county area, police said. Officers acted under the supervision of the case prosecutor from the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Court of Appeal of Galati. Police said the suspects allegedly used money from criminal activities to buy luxury vehicles between 2022 and 2026. They would then register the cars under the names of relatives or close associates, with the aim of hiding the illegal origin of the funds and the real beneficiaries. During the searches, officers discovered and seized about 300,000 lei, a non-lethal weapon, documents and other evidence. The estimated prejudice in the case exceeds 3 million euros. The seized vehicles were taken to support the investigation and apply the legal measures required. Police from the Economic Crime Investigation Service in Galati continue gathering evidence, working under the prosecutor’s direction. Officers said they were supported by Special Actions Service teams, Galati County Gendarmerie units, and the Baca u Mobile Gendarmerie unit.
