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.
