Police in Sofia uncovered a fraud for nearly 400,000 BGN

Sofia police uncovered a fraud of particularly large scale, the Ministry of Interior informed on June 29.

The man who committed the fraud to the size of nearly 400,000 BGN was identified and detained as a result of a lengthy investigation.

Operative actions began after the victim, a young man from Lovech, sought help from the police. In 2019, he was contacted by an acquaintance from the village of Dolni Bogrov, who convinced him that for a certain amount the two could start and develop a successful business, but for this purpose several companies had to be registered in the name of the victim.

Contracts for a bank loan were signed - overdraft, for farmers against a pledge of European subsidies. According to the victim, he did not sign these documents and only found out about the fraud when the banking institution began to seek repayment of the loans.
