Romanian\u00a0DIICOT prosecutors and police administration are currently making investigations at the\u00a0largest wood exporter in Romania - Schweighofer Holzindustrie. The company's headquarters, as well as 23 other locations across the country, are being searched at the moment.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Investigators have estimated a damage of about\u00a025 million euros as the Austrian company was accused of having bought wood without\u00a0any endorsements or with fake records\u00a0from 2011 until now, and exported it.<\/p>\n

The investigation takes place in Bucharest and in the counties of Brasov, Alba, Suceava, Hunedoara and Bihor. The DIICOT investigation concerns the destruction of an organized criminal group, specialized in committing offenses of misappropriation of public auctions, tax evasion, unfair competition, tree-cutting and other offenses under the jurisdiction of this Prosecutor's Office.<\/p>\n

\"There is a reasonable suspicion that since 2011 to date, more people have constituted an organized criminal group, acting for the diversion of the public auctions organized at the level of the forestry directions, in order to ensure considerable additional volumes of wood logs for processing them in specialized factories<\/em>, \"DIICOT prosecutors show.<\/p>\n

\"For the same purpose, some economic agents were removed from the auctions. At the same time, it was determined from the researches in question that part of the quantity of wood received was not evidenced in accounting documents. Also, there is a reasonable suspicion that part of the received wood was derived from tree-cutting offenses<\/em>,\" the investigators emphasize.<\/p>\n

According to them, the members of the organized crime group also benefited from the support of civil servants in these crimes.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
