Vice President of the Socialist group in the European Parliament, Hannes Swoboda declared at RFI that the arrests and investigations in the last days in Romania against customs officers are a signal of the anti-corruption fight. Tens of police and customs officers were arrested in the last days from the East and West customs of Romania.

They are suspected of bribe taking and smuggling cigarettes. Swoboda sees a good sign in the raids and if accusations are true, than it is really a good sign.
