„As part of an investigation, it was established that in the period 2020 – 2023, the decisive factors at the level of the Bulgarian management (with a main management role) of an insurance company, in their capacity as administrators of the company and with the support of individuals from the senior management, could have acted continuously, in execution of the same criminal resolution, to decapitalize the company in question, by greatly reducing the available cash and property at its disposal“, states a press release from the Romanian police on the case.
The document also states that the leading factors of the company may have developed, coordinated, implemented, ordered and caused a mechanism for carrying out insurance activity (under the compulsory automobile insurance in Romania), which affected the financial capacity of the company.
