A candidate for a traffic police officer drives with a revoked license  - 1

A young man who graduated from the Ministry of Interior Academy and is a trainee-cadet in the system, turns out to be a repeat driver, and the Ministry of Interior did not have the practice of monitoring whether the people it trains have a clean past as drivers.

A few months ago, this future police officer's driver's license was revoked for a series of violations, but he continued to drive and was caught behind the wheel without a license.

Sasho Trapkov is the traffic police officer who 10 years ago took a 20 leva bribe and was sentenced to 3 years probation.

We also recall the case of police officer Yordan Petkov from Lovech, who became known by his nickname Dancho Katadzhiata. He was fired and investigated for income concealment, cigarette smuggling, coercion, influence peddling, money laundering and tax crimes.

Examples like these are numerous and striking when it comes to the personnel in the Traffic Police, who are responsible for traffic safety.
