As of December 2013, five of the
seven most recent trafficking incidents involving
unauthorized possession of highly enriched uranium
(HEU) had taken place in the EU’s neighbourhood
in the Black Sea region. One seizure was made on
the Bulgaria–Romania border in 1999, three more
in Georgia in 2003, 2006 and 2010, and another in
Chisinau, Moldova’s capital, in 2011. In a sixth HEU
case, in France in 2001, the subsequent investigation
established criminal connections to the region,
particularly to Moldova and Romania, and identified
links to the 1999 seizure in Bulgaria. The modalities
of the 2011 incident in Chisinau suggested that it
might also have been linked to the Bulgarian and French HEU cases. The three HEU seizures in Georgia
also had apparent links between them, including the
degree of uranium enrichment, the similarity of the
packaging and the involvement of some of the same
individuals. The two series of what appear to be
interlinked trafficking incidents have raised concern
that criminal networks may be using the Black Sea
region to smuggle nuclear materials along the routes
that are also used for drug and human trafficking.
