Medical rehabilitation centre in Romania: businessman and company indicted for fraud and money laundering, damages of over €3 million in EU funds


When a Romanian businessman returned to his hometown and found a city blighted by mining waste, he hatched a plan to restore it to its former glory. He became a local hero, but now prosecutors accuse of him a running a multimillion dollar fraud

The first time I heard the name Daniel Boldor, I was in Bucharest in a room full of police officers.

On the international market, it was known as “metal concentrate” – and, while it resembled dirt, it was highly coveted in countries such as China and South Korea

That summer, Boldor began selling to international clients. Over the next three years, a dozen container ships laden with copper- and zinc-flecked sludge left from Constanța for China.

Boldor had shipped some 10m tonnes of concentrates out of Baia Mare – and received more than €6m in payment.

It wasn’t until November 2016 that authorities began to notice that something strange was going on in Baia Mare

Now the shipment sat on a quay in Hong Kong. It was colossal – more than 2,700 tonnes packed into 123 shipping containers – and, in addition to allegedly being worthless, Chinese authorities claimed that it contained toxic quantities of arsenic and cadmium, two chemicals often found in mining waste


If Baia Mare is known anywhere outside Romania today, it is as the site of one of Europe’s greatest environmental disasters. In January 2000, heavy snow melt caused 26m gallons of stagnant cyanide –

Boldor himself put it like this: “You see a Gypsy in this town driving a BMW?” he said. “You can thank me.”

Han sålde på kineserna 2700 ton giftigt gruvavfall 🤣🤣🤣 EU-export

De som köpte de övriga 10 miljoner ton sk-t vill nog vara anonyma
