Fine for Technical Inspection in Moldova — Information from the Border Police

“The foreign citizen was fined 12 conditional units, and entry into the country with the vehicle was denied.”

Calculation of the Fine: One conditional unit (u.c.) in Moldova is generally equal to 50 lei. Therefore, the fine of 12 u.c. equals:

12 * 50 = 600 lei.

Thus, the fine amounts to 600 lei.

The article on the website of the Border Police of the Republic of Moldova includes the following passage:

“Un cetățean ucrainean a fost amendat deoarece nu deținea certificatul de inspecție tehnică a mijlocului de transport pe care îl conducea. Acestuia i s-a refuzat traversarea frontierei de stat.”
