A 52-year-old man from Timiș County is being investigated for trafficking in risk and high-risk drugs after police and DIICOT Timișoara prosecutors carried out searches.[1] Investigators said the man had set up and developed, during 2026, an indoor cannabis crop for sale; the searches carried out on 8 October found six cannabis plants over two metres tall.[1]
The striking sight of the operation was cannabis plants hanging to dry in the house’s attic, suspended in a space used for drying the crop.[1] Police took away eight bags of plant material still under examination and found two bags of psilocin- and psilocibin-containing magic mushrooms.[1] According to the Romanian police press release, 9,000 euros were also found during the searches.[1]
DIICOT prosecutors ordered his detention on 9 October, and a judge at the Timiș Court then placed him in 30 days’ preventive arrest.[1] Ziua de Vest confirms the same six large cannabis plants found at two homes in Moșnița Nouă and Periam.[2]
Știri de Timișoara confirms the two searches at the man’s homes in Moșnița Nouă and Periam.[3] The operation was run by the Timișoara Organised Crime Police Brigade together with DIICOT prosecutors, with gendarmerie support.[1]
