Director of the SDVR ch. Commissioner Lyubomir Nikolov stated: "Among the items found, we can assume that one vote is between BGN 100 and 150. I cannot say that the number of people involved in buying votes has increased, but this election happened to us to investigate the submission of false lists to the CEC for the registration of a party that is not parliamentaryly represented in the 50th National Assembly.”
Large sums of money, notebooks with people's personal data, gold jewelry, small amounts of narcotics and weapons were found.
