Environmental authorities, police, and gendarmes carried out “the largest operation of the year” targeting illegal waste activities in the Sintești area near Bucharest. The raid followed more than a month of drone surveillance and resulted in the confiscation of 136 tonnes of waste materials, the immobilization of 31 vehicles, and fines totaling around RON 700,000 (some EUR 135,000).
According to the National Environmental Guard, the operation targeted networks involved in the illegal storage, burning, and resale of waste in Sintești, Ilfov county, and nearby areas.
