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.

39% of the first stage of Ungheni's Lake Delia promenade comes from Cluj

The Cluj-Napoca Local Council voted on 20 July to give 593,000 Romanian lei (RON) for the development of the promenade on Lake Delia in Ungheni. The financing agreement, annexed to the decision of the Ungheni Municipal Council, shows that the first stage costs €288,387.80 — about 5.8 million Moldovan lei (MDL) — and that the Cluj share amounts to €113,247.88, that is 39.3% of the total. The remaining 60.7% is paid by Ungheni. The contract was awarded back in May to SRL Balt-Cons of Pîrlița, for 5,759,683.36 Moldovan lei including VAT, and the request to Cluj had gone out as early as December.

36.7 million lei for 2.14 km: Ungheni's Alexandru cel Bun street goes into reconstruction

On 20 July the Consiliul raional Ungheni (the Ungheni District Council) awarded the contract for rebuilding the stretch between Romană street and the Oleg Ungureanu — Decebal junction, part of district road L389. The works cost 36 677 184 lei including VAT — 17 139 lei for every metre of street — and went to SA „Drumuri Bălți”, the only company that submitted a bid. The bill is not the district's alone, however: an agreement approved by the two councils splits the cost 75% district and 25% town hall, and the streets in question passed into district ownership only in 2023, handed over free of charge by the town.

The children's hearing room at the Ungheni Police has not been used since 2017

The Ungheni Police Inspectorate has replied to the newsroom: in the minors' hearing room fitted out in 2014 — one of only two functional ones out of the eight opened across the country at the time — not a single child has been heard since 2017, because hearings take place at the Ungheni Court, before the investigating judge. The space inaugurated on 24 July and announced by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a different one, cost around 42 thousand lei and is not meant for hearings: the police confirm it does not meet the requirements of article 110¹ of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Barnahus-type centre for the Centre region is scheduled only by the end of 2027, and the integrated service that operates in Ungheni admits, under its regulations, women from the age of 18.

Whose money pays for the school renovations: in Costuleni, the district presents millions from the government as its own investments

The Ungheni District Council presented on Facebook the investments in the Todirești and Costuleni gymnasiums. The figures check out in documents — but at Costuleni, out of the roughly six-million-lei package, the district's own money is only the paving (531 thousand); the rest — the thermal insulation and the sanitary facilities — comes from the government and from the Ministry of Education. At Todirești, by contrast, the money really is the district's. All of it, five months before the reform takes these schools out of the District Council's subordination.
