Open questions the AI reported
The sources give no exact weight for the parcel, only 'more than 5 kilograms', so 5 kg is the conservative minimum and the about 3 kg received by the second man is not added on top of it.
No street value of the cannabis and no indictment or trial outcome are reported; the case is at the preventive-arrest stage.
The men are not named and the sources do not say where in Baia Mare the handover happened or which courier firm was used.
The exact date of the flagrant detection is not stated; 5 November 2026 is the date the detention and preventive arrest were ordered and when the case was announced.
