by Zivka Deleva
Three people including former police officers are being suspected to participate in the haul of 1.8 kg of radioactive uranium in Moldova. The police took over the radioactive substance from a garage in the capital Chisinau. Certain tests have been done in the United States that proved that we are talking about the type Uranium-238. According to experts it is valued at 9 million euros. This crime hasn't been the first one to the suspected. They have already been in charge for possessing radioactive materials in Moldova, Russia and Romania. The police still doesn't know the country where does the uranium comes from. For the records, this type of uranium is the most common a! mong the three isotopes of the uranium. From Uranium-238 a plutonium can be made, which is a a powerful material for nuclear weapon. Not only the three people were involved in the crime, the police is after few more to close the investigation. "Seven members of the criminal group came under suspicion of police in the middle of June when they started to look for ways of selling the radioactive material," - the Interior Ministry said. Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe and it is an easy target for any kind of smuggling to happen. Very often, narcotics, tobaccos are found by the police, as well as human trafficking. It is a kind of connection between the eastern and western Europe. Who was so smart to do such a thing? Whoever that was, he was very indiscrete to finish it well.
