Romanian prosecutors said Friday that a 42-year-old Russian had been stopped at Bucharest's Henri Coanda Airport on Oct. 19 with classified documents and maps related to the Moldova Noua copper and precious-metal mine.
In a statement, they said managers of state mining company SC Ipromin allegedly divulged the documents. Authorities are investigating the authenticity and the level of classification of the documents related to the mine, located near Romania's border with Serbia.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
