After identity theft: Fraudsters took out bank loans worth 90,000 BGN in the names of friends

Today, October 18, Petkov appealed against his detention.

His mother appeared in the courtroom and said that she has now found out about her son's financial problems and has already paid an instalment amounting to BGN 500. Petkov told the court that he would repay all the loans he had taken out and did not want to involve his friends.

The Prosecutor’s office revealed evidence that the couple had planned a trip out of the country, with an express service requested to prepare the child's documents.
