Customs officers at the Kapitan Andreevo Customs checkpoint found nearly 100,000 euros undeclared during an inspection of a truck leaving the country.
On September 16, 2025, a truck with Turkish registration arrived at the checkpoint. The driver - a Turkish citizen - declared that he was transporting goods from the Netherlands through Bulgaria to Turkey.

A pre-trial investigation has been initiated by an investigating customs inspector in the case, which is being conducted under the supervision of the District Prosecutor's Office - Haskovo.
