Prosecutors from DIICOT Cluj have arrested two men, aged 25 and 30, in a suspected cannabis trafficking case. DIICOT says the 25-year-old allegedly bought, held and repeatedly sold cannabis in 2024 at 18,000 lei per kilogram. Investigators also documented a transaction from November 8, when about one kilogram of cannabis was allegedly sold through the second suspect. The handover was carried out using the “dead drop” method, meaning drugs were left in a predetermined place without a direct meeting between buyer and seller. After the payment, the 30-year-old was caught in the act while picking up 4,100 euros, representing the value of the drugs traded. Prosecutors ordered the men’s detention and asked the Tribunal of Cluj to impose 30 days of pre-trial arrest. The case is being handled alongside police from the Cluj-Napoca organised crime unit. Both suspects are being investigated for drug trafficking of “risk drugs” and remain protected by the presumption of innocence during the criminal proceedings.
