Furthermore, according to the data released, Romanian law enforcement carried out 19 European arrest warrants, captured 60 people who were reported missing by EU Member States for refusing to enter or remain in the Schengen Area, located 192 people wanted for legal proceedings, and located 10 people who had been reported missing within the Schengen Zone countries.

Furthermore, Romanian authorities found 38 cars that were being sought by Schengen Zone partners for either confiscation or use as evidence in court cases, and they also confiscated 36 papers. Of these, eight were wanted for legal proceedings, eight were reported missing by Romanian authorities, and 19 were being pursued by the Romanian Police on the basis of European arrest warrants. Twenty were reported by Member States for denial of admission or stay in the Schengen Zone.

Moreover, international partners found two cars and fifteen documents on their property that Romanian authorities were looking for to utilize as admissible or supporting evidence in criminal cases.

This comes after an earlier report by the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police, which said that 858 people with SIS alerts were found in Romania and other countries between December 15 and December 21.

One of the most important databases in the European Union is the Schengen Information System (SIS), which has more than 40 million alerts about people and things. It makes it possible for pertinent authorities in EU member states to exchange and manage data about people who are missing, people who are wanted, unauthorized entrance attempts, and other topics.
