On 12 November 2026, prosecutors at DIICOT’s Timișoara Territorial Service ordered the detention of two defendants in two criminal cases: a 42-year-old charged with trafficking in risk drugs and a 58-year-old charged with trafficking in high-risk drugs.[1]

During 2026, the 42-year-old defendant initiated and developed cannabis cultivation, both indoor and outdoor, intended for sale.[1] A search in comuna Bata, Arad County, found and seized 54 cannabis plants in the drying process, various bags, sacks and containers holding about 4 kilograms of cannabis buds and inflorescences, handmade cigarettes, objects bearing traces of the substance, a scale, a grinder, and other means of proof.[1]

In the second case, investigators established that during 2026 a 58-year-old defendant purchased, possessed and sold cocaine in the area of Timiș County.[1] Two home-search warrants were executed in the city of Timișoara, where several bags containing a total of 200 grams of cocaine, a precision electronic scale, objects bearing traces of the substance, and other means of proof were identified.[1]

The judges of rights and freedoms at the Timiș Court ordered the preventive arrest of the defendants for a period of 30 days.[1] The judicial activities were carried out together with officers of the Organised Crime Combat Brigade Timișoara.[1]
