Investigators arrested a man red-handed during the sale of two kilograms of cocaine worth €70,000 in Timisoara, DIICOT and Romanian police said on Thursday.

According to quoted sources, on February 12, a man was caught red-handed in Timisoara while selling two kilograms of cocaine (a high-risk drug) for 70,000 euros.

Judicial sources say the drugs were brought in from outside the country by a second person and the shipment was intercepted. An undercover investigator was involved to organize the crime, to whom the caught person tried to sell cocaine.

Two men were initially detained for 24 hours for selling dangerous drugs. Later, the Timișoara court sentenced them to preventive arrest for 30 days.
