Vulnerabilități în identificarea documentelor de călătorie falsificate și a bunurilor de patrimoniu traficate la frontiera dintre România și R. Moldova

Abstract

Military conflicts in the last period, such as those from the border European Union (UE) have led to increased risks in the use of forged or counterfeit travel documents. If until the appearance of these conflicts, the main risk was linked to illegal migration, now a great attention is given to security of member states of the EU within their borders, but also at Community level. Demand for forged or counterfeit travel documents is constantly growing, and the Internet facilitates the development of this phenomenon as it is a favorable environment for detailed presentation of authentic, alongside promoting forgery. In a similar way, the increase of passenger traffic recorded in 2015 at the romanian-moldavian border with 37% modified certain aspects of trafficking in cultural heritage goods relating to categories of goods involved, methods to conceal them, people involved, routes used. To analyze these changes, in the paper are described cases of trafficking in cultural heritage goods discovered romanianmoldavian border in order to determine the characteristics, evolution and extent of this phenomenon. From the analysis of criminal activities on heritage assets discovered at the border appears that both Romania and Moldova are the mainly source countries (of provenance) for illicit trafficked cultural heritage goods and less transit countries. To minimize this phenomenon are necessary measures for prevention and for combating.
