eBay’s global fraud investigation team, were directly involved in the investigations and provided a physical presence supporting local Romanian law enforcement who led the arrest.

“We are delighted that Vladuz is in custody thanks to the hard work of Romanian law enforcement,” said eBay’s CISO Chief Information Security Officer, Dave Cullinane, “Their willingness to work closely with eBay and other global law enforcement agencies was instrumental in making this arrest. Having this alleged fraudster arrested demonstrates that eBay protects its community from criminals.”
