During a search carried out in the commune of Bata, Arad county, police found quantities of drugs stored in bags, sacks and containers.
The second case concerns a 58-year-old man, under investigation for allegedly obtaining, possessing and selling cocaine in Timiș county. Two home search warrants were executed in Timișoara municipality, where several bags containing a total of approximately 200 grammes of cocaine were identified. Investigators also seized a precision electronic scale, items bearing traces of substance, and other relevant evidence.
On 12 November 2026, DIICOT Timișoara prosecutors ordered the detention of the two men. Judges of rights and freedoms at Timiș Court subsequently decided on their preventive arrest for 30 days.
