Two water authority officials detained after inspections at aggregate companies in Brașov
Brașov Court ordered, on 4 November 2026, the 30-day remand in custody of Daniel Băviță, former director of the Olt Basin Administration and current head of the Water Inspection Department, and inspector Alin Constantin, according to bzb.ro. Both are accused of bribery.
The arrest request was filed by the National Anticorruption Directorate – Brașov Territorial Service.
According to the DNA, the facts occurred on 12 August 2026, during inspections carried out at work points in Brașov County belonging to commercial companies with activities in the extraction and sorting of mineral aggregates.
"The defendants Băviță Daniel and Trușcă Constantin Alin, in the aforementioned capacities, whilst carrying out their service duties, on the occasion of inspections carried out in Brașov County at the work points of commercial companies carrying out mineral aggregate extraction and sorting activities, allegedly demanded and received, in two separate circumstances, the sums of 10,000 lei and respectively 6,000 lei from the representatives of the two commercial companies, in order not to apply contraventional penalties for the irregularities found or to apply milder penalties in relation to the breaches identified," the institution's statement reads.
The two sums, totalling 16,000 lei, were allegedly requested and received in exchange for non-application or reduction of the contraventional penalties identified following the inspections.
The anticorruption prosecutors clarified that in the same case, criminal prosecution proceedings are being conducted against other persons, without providing further details about their identities.
