Sofia Zheleva in front of the FACTS: the post of head of the Metropolitan Inspectorate costs BGN 500,000 (VIDEO)  - 1

High-ranking officials in the Metropolitan the inspectorate of the municipality advocates that waste not be transported to the landfill in "Vrazhdebna", but dumped in private properties, in riverbeds, etc. When I say high-ranking officials, as we set out in the first part of our investigation by the “Anti-Corruption Fund”, I mean the heads of the inspectorate - the previous two directors who are part of this scheme. This is precisely what prevents the scheme from being broken, and so far no attempts have been made to break it. There simply hasn't been the will in the Metropolitan Municipality to untangle the whole scheme. This is what he announced to Lili Marinkova in the "FACTS" studio. and the show “Conversation“ Sofia Zheleva from the “Anti-Corruption Fund”.

“I hope that the efforts that engineer Nikolay Nedelkov, the authorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the prosecutor's office are making will take a firm opinion and take action. There's serious money going around and we can't say where it's being accounted for, but it's up to the prosecutor's office to investigate the information we have. The figures referred to are part of the testimony of an employee at the inspectorate. They claim that BGN 500,000 is needed to buy the position of director of the Metropolitan Inspectorate. Where the employee got the information, to whom this amount is owed - we do not know. But the whole explanation of the scheme is very consistent, and this leads us to believe that the explanation has a high degree of credibility. It is about an average of BGN 60 per truck, which is paid to the former chief engineer Kyuchukov, so that the companies are not punished for not depositing in the right place”, the lawyer added.
