“Bulgarian participation was announced by Kyoveshi. We obtained the acts of the court that authorized the arrests in Italy, since they are not as secret as in Bulgaria.”, investigative journalist Atanas Chobanov commented on the “EuroDikoff” show.< /p>

“Indeed, this company made a turnover of 130 million. BGN for three years with three employees. This is explained by the VAT carousel, Chobanov confirmed.
