Three were detained in the course of a specialised police raid in Sliven and Nova Zagora on October 22. Two owners of commercial outlets were detained in ‘Nadezhda’ residential district of Sliven on a tip-off. Notebooks with lists of debtors were seized from the shops, which the police suspected would become the subject of debt-for-vote buyouts. A perpetrator of a robbery of an elderly woman was arrested in Nova Zagora. His accomplice is being sought.
Commercial establishments, gambling halls and private homes are searched as part of the specialised operation.
"Three addresses are being checked at the moment. Yesterday, we received an alert about vote-buying in a village in Sliven district, Southeastern Bulgaria. Things are being clarified there. A sum of 60 BGN is involved. No one has been arrested in connection with this report, as it is still being clarified whether it is in fact vote-buying. The raid was launched at 8 o'clock, later we will announce the result", head of "Security Police" in Sliven, Dimitar Kikyov.
The operation in ‘Nadezhda’ district of Sliven is ongoing.
