An investigation by the General Directorate of Anti-Corruption and Corruption neutralized the activities of an organized criminal group that damaged the budget by over 3 million leva according to initial calculations. In a subsequent specialized police operation, the leader of the organization - a 44-year-old man - was arrested.

It was established that he directly or indirectly controlled several companies that evaded taxes and allowed people to work without employment contracts in order to avoid mandatory social security contributions to the state social and health insurance.

Pre-trial proceedings have been initiated in the case.
