	Crime in Moldova - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crime in Moldova, as everywhere in former Soviet republics, has risen dramatically since the demise of the Soviet Union.

		In addition, Moldova is a transshipment point for illegal drugs to Western Europe and a source and transit nation in the trafficking in human beings, in particular women and girls into forced prostitution.
