House arrest for tax officials following a corruption scandal

The District Court in Burgas has imposed a measure of "house arrest" with an electronic monitoring bracelet for two employees of the National Revenue Agency (NRA). The men are accused of corruption, specifically requesting and accepting a bribe.

The case arose following an inspection of a commercial site in the town of Chernomorets, during which the tax officials identified violations.

Details of the charges

According to investigators, the officials demanded the sum of 300 euros in order not to report the irregularities found at the site.

  • The District Prosecutor's Office in Burgas insisted on "detention in custody" due to the high public danger.
  • The defense for the accused succeeded in obtaining the lighter measure of "house arrest".
  • The court has ordered the placement of electronic bracelets to track the movement of the accused.

The investigation into the case continues, as all evidence in the initiated pre-trial proceedings is being analyzed.
