The Prosecutor’s Office filed charges against eight of the 32 employees of the Customs Agency, detained this night. During the police raid at the Kapitan Andreevo border check-point, the customs officers were caught while sharing the money received as bribes.The operation was conducted by the Chief Directorate for Combating Organised Crime and the Internal Security department of the Interior Ministry under the direct supervision of the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office.

Sofia City Prosecutor Nikolai Kokinov said that the investigation of corruption at the border with Turkey has started in 2011 and long before the police raid, the suspects had been kept under observation with special investigative means. Five of the arrested customs officers will be charged with participation in an organised criminal group and three – with taking bribes. “Employees of the Customs Agency have taken bribes from both Bulgarians and foreigners,” said Kokinov. “Sometimes, it was a matter of smuggling and sometimes – of racketeering,” explained Kokinov. The amount of bribes varies from BGN 5 to BGN 500. The money was kept in different currencies
