The City Hall says the „Heart” in Ungheni's centre is broken again and again. The police: no vandalism cases recorded

Ungheni City Hall says the installation in Independence Square, put up in August 2023, is being vandalised repeatedly, and that the police have detained several perpetrators. How much the installation cost and how much the repairs have cost so far appears in no public source. The law, by contrast, is clear: the same act can be treated as an offence, carrying 900–1,800 lei, or as vandalism — a crime with no damage threshold, carrying a fine from 27,500 lei or up to one year in prison. When the perpetrator is a minor, the bill reaches the parents, and the fine money does not return to the town's budget.

Two minors smashed a CCTV camera at a bus stop in Ungheni. The bill falls mostly on the parents, plus a fine of up to 900 lei

Ungheni City Hall made public a case from the evening of 9 May, at the bus stop on Bernardazzi Street 10 — two minors allegedly smashed a surveillance camera, were identified from the footage, and the file was sent to the police. Beyond the institution's message of accountability, the practical question is another: who pays for the damage? The law is clear — repairing public property damaged by a child falls, under civil law, on the parents regardless of age, while damaging property is, at this value, an offence carrying a 900–1,800 lei fine, not a crime. On top of that, a parent can be fined separately for failure to supervise.

The state is investing 96 million lei in the cadastre of public property. 16 localities in the Ungheni district are included — not «all the town halls», as the announcement implied

A national project funded from the state budget, within the EU-backed Growth Plan, will delimit and register public property in 275 localities across Moldova by 2028. The cadastre agency's leadership visited the Ungheni district between 16 and 26 June. The official statement speaks of «275 town halls», but the government document says otherwise — «localities»: from the Ungheni district, 16 of its 74 localities are covered. The stake is not technical: without a correctly registered plot or building, a town hall cannot tax it, pledge it, sell it or legally develop it.
