Police Raids and Initial Arrests

On April 6, 2022, Romanian police conducted a series of raids targeting an organized crime group suspected of operating a hitman-for-hire website. The coordinated effort resulted in the arrest of multiple individuals, raising hopes for a potential resolution of the investigations surrounding the site. Following the arrests, there was an immediate sense of relief as it seemed authorities had finally taken action against the criminal network. However, this relief was short-lived when it was discovered that changes were being made to the site shortly after the raids, prompting concerns that the mastermind remained at large.
