I didn't take any money. I have never met anyone in a sauna. No one asked me for money, no one offered me money. Asen Vassilev didn't ask me for money, and I didn't take money either. This is what the arrested head of the "Customs" Agency said. Petya Bankova, while being led to the courtroom in handcuffs, told a reporter of "Focus".
The court session is delayed by an hour and a half from the originally scheduled time. Her remand order was supposed to be considered as early as 1 p.m., but the lawyers' familiarization with the materials of the proceedings delayed its start.
Bankova's lawyer Adelina Nateva said that there is also a new accusation.
We remind you that Bankova and two other employees of the "Customs" Agency were detained on Thursday during a special operation of DANS and KPCONPI.
They and the fourth, who is wanted, are accused of being part of an organized criminal group.
