Corruption Scandal in Bulgaria: High-Level Officials Involved in Smuggling Scheme

Asen Vasilev’s problem with Kalin Stoyanov is the appointment of the police chief in Haskovo. 50,000 euros is the fee for one truckload of contraband cigarettes. Let’s assume that we launch 20 trucks per month, so just a high-level employee in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and customs can earn over BGN 1 million. Grigor Zdravkov, the head of the “Anti-Mafia” Legion, announced this to Lili Marinkova in the “FACTS” studio and the “Talk” show.

“Former Prime Minister Denkov, I will have to disappoint him, because the ambassadors he went to know about this smuggling channel in Haskovo. The ambassadors knew of my signals. As a Bulgarian, I submit them to the Bulgarian institutions. When the Bulgarian institutions do not do their work for a number of reasons – as happened with the Largo, which I have been dealing with since 2017 and I have proven it with documents, I also inform the European structure OLAF, because it is a matter of European funds,” the guest added.

“The action in customs and the accusation against Petya Bankova is for the last three months. Then she became the head of customs, and before that she was the deputy head in charge of smuggling. And what’s going on. The head of the “Customs” Agency, Pavel Tonev, quite by chance became an advisor to the Minister of Finance, and quite by chance is on sick leave. I wish him a speedy recovery, because he will have to provide information,” Zdravkov also shared.

“As for Boyko Rashkov, he was notified by the president on March 14, 2022, when I submitted the information about the Haskovo channel. He sends it to the Sofia District Prosecutor’s Office. So the unprepared Mr. Rashkov knows that there is an organized criminal group in Haskovo. After I submit a report to the president, the head of state sends it to the Ministry of the Interior and the National Security Agency. So since 2022 DANS knew about this channel and they worked. Otherwise, Boyko Rashkov and former acting Prime Minister Galab Donev did not find time to call me to ask me about this signal for two years. This is an absolute violation of the norms”, commented Zdravkov.
