Moldova to exchange DNA data with other countries to investigate cross-border crime

Investigations into cross-border crime will be supported by the exchange of DNA data between law enforcement authorities in Moldova and other countries.

To this end, the Ministry of Internal Affairs proposed amendments to the rules governing the handling of biological material. The Cabinet of Ministers approved the draft legislation, which establishes the legal framework for exchanging DNA analysis results with other countries.

The new rules provide for the use of standardized DNA markers and establish procedures for transmitting information, ensuring that DNA profiles can be compared accurately and securely.

At the same time, safeguards will be in place to protect genetic data and personal privacy.

The new framework will strengthen international law enforcement cooperation, helping authorities investigate cross-border crime and identify individuals suspected of involvement in cross-border criminal activities.
