Moldova flagged by Europol as transit hub for drugs
Google News RO — Crime (ro) reports that Europol has transmitted an explicit warning regarding the position of the Republic of Moldova in narcotic substance trafficking networks. The European law enforcement agency stated that "R. Moldova is a transit country for drug flows," during the meeting of the Security Hub of the European Union.
The warning was presented in the context of discussions at the European level concerning illicit trafficking routes that cross the region. Europol did not specify, in available public statements, what types of narcotic substances are primarily involved or what the final destinations of the shipments are.
The meeting of the EU's Security Hub represents a forum for cooperation between member states and associated partners in the field of security, including combating cross-border organised crime. Moldova's participation in such meetings reflects the increasingly close alignment of the country with European security structures.
The Moldovan authorities have not yet issued an official response to the Europol warning.
