„Withdraw“. Two words from a chat between a head of the Directorate of the State Anti-Corruption Bureau and police officers conducting an operation against a smuggling channel.
Two words that say much more about the state of the country than official reports.
The former Minister of Interior and head of the National Security Agency – Tsvetlin Yovchev, commented to bTV that this is another example in recent months and years that shows that things are not good.
„There is a serious problem with the integrity of employees of the Ministry of Interior and Minister of Interior Mitov is currently facing a very serious challenge. Even if the leaders from Plovdiv have been removed – this is far from enough.
The civil association BOETS announced that it had uncovered alleged interference by senior police leaders in thwarting an operation against a cigarette smuggling channel in Plovdiv.
Minister Daniel Mitov explained that all responsible officials along the chain are practically no longer in their positions. The Deputy Director of the General Directorate for the Fight against Organized Crime, Kalin Litov, was also removed this week.
