“Bulgarian Bank Accused of Transferring Funds to Russian Oligarchs, GERB Demands Answers from BNB”

GERB investigates these large suspicious amounts next week, requests explanations from the BNB

A Bulgarian bank is suspected of transferring money to Russian oligarchs in Europe, said GERB MP Delyan Dobrev.

In this way, Bulgaria violates the embargo imposed by the EU.

Dobrev spared no name, but gave hints. He clarified that it is not necessary for the bank to be owned by Bulgarian legal entities. However, the bank operates in Bulgaria. The money was transferred to Hungary.

As early as next week, GERB will raise the issue in parliament and ask for explanations from the BNB.

The information about Russian money passing through a Bulgarian bank was obtained from partner services, he explained.

“Through this particular bank, large dubious money transfers to another country in Europe – to Hungary, which are believed to be connected to Russian oligarchs and interests. Therefore, it is very important that the bill on money laundering be passed as quickly as possible . And this bank will not be able to do such transactions. If this is true, where are the financial intelligence of the National Security Service and where is the BNB? Our source is reliable, so we believe that this is true. I say this because it is not known how long will this parliament last. As early as Wednesday, we will start this topic,” promised Dobrev to Lora Krumova in the program “On Focus” on “Nova TV”.
