Moldova: Driving school director, intermediary detained for 1,500-euro license bribe

Moldovan anti-corruption prosecutors and the CNA detained a Chișinău driving school director and an intermediary for allegedly soliciting and accepting 1,500 euros to fraudulently issue a driving license. The arrests are part of an ongoing influence trafficking probe; details on the candidate's role and whether the license was issued remain unclear. The case underscores persistent petty corruption in Moldova's licensing system, a target of EU-backed anti-corruption efforts.
