Six detections at Sculeni in seven months. What the booth Ungheni residents cross actually checks
On 29 July, at the Sculeni Border Crossing Point, Romanian border police officers detained a citizen of the Republic of Moldova wanted under a European arrest warrant issued by Finland. The accusations have not been tried by any court. The case is the anchor of an explainer about what the booth through which Ungheni district leaves for the European Union actually checks — four layers of control and, since 2 March 2026, the facial image and four fingerprints.
