Allegations of Corruption Surface at Moldova's Leuseni Customs Checkpoint A hidden camera video has sparked outrage and calls for investigation into alleged corruption at the Leuseni customs checkpoint on the Moldova-Romania border. The video, which has gone viral on social media, appears to capture conversations between customs officials and drivers, suggesting demands for bribes in exchange for expedited processing. One driver is heard saying, "They're asking for 6,000 on one side and 5,000 on the other." Another driver states, "It's better to pay 1,500 and get on with it." While the audio is at times difficult to understand, the conversations clearly indicate a system of bribery. The National Anticorruption Center (CNA) has yet to comment publicly on the video's authenticity or the allegations it contains. However, the video's widespread circulation underscores concerns about corruption within Moldova's customs system and the need for increased transparency and accountability. The incident highlights the ongoing struggle against corruption in Moldova and the need for stronger measures to protect citizens and businesses from such practices.
