According to the sources, a union leader and several mechanics are targeted by the operation. They added that prosecutors are also investigating a possible organized crime group within the company.

Authorities confiscated several documents from the company’s Technical Directorate regarding TAROM assets.

The airline announced on Tuesday afternoon that its flight schedule was not affected by the searches, and operations will continue in normal conditions throughout the day.

DIICOT announced later in the day that it carried out a number of 25 raids in Bucharest and the counties of Ilfov, Prahova, Dambovia and Brasov in the case, regarding acts of embezzlement and corruption.
