According to Yotova, every new case raises further questions that the authorities must answer.

"Who is in charge of this business with people's lives, who is financing this. Who are the real owners of these so-called homes? Whose signatures are on the documents? How are such large quantities of expensive medications, which require special permits, being stockpiled?" Yotova asked.

"As a society, we must not allow these cases to be quickly forgotten. Changes to the Penal Code are needed to address this type of crime, along with much stricter state oversight," the Vice President added.
