According to information obtained by Rise Project, prices were inflated by 300%.
The quoted source writes that in just one day, Cocos’ companies obtained contract in total value of 18 million euros following a business with the Matei Bals Institute.
Specifically, on June 19, 2012, the institute led by Adrian Streinu-Cercel bought, by auction, laboratory reagents worth 18 million euros.
The winning companies were Meditest Global 2002, Immuno Diagnostika and Spectrum Magnamed. Subsequently, they were investigated by the National Office for Preventing and Combating Money Laundering (ONPCSB), and the inspectors established that the final beneficiary of the 18 million euros was the businessman Dorin Cocos.
In plain sight, the companies were controlled by Cocos’ relatives, that is, by his sister and brother-in-law. In one, Cocos was a direct shareholder at one time: Meditest Global 2002.
