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.
