A police raid uncovers an illegal tobacco factory near Sofia.

At the beginning of the week, the police received a signal about a property where tobacco is being illegally processed. The investigation found a house in the vicinity of Sofia, equipped with facilities for processing and cutting tobacco. On site, the employees found and seized over 40 kilograms of ready-to-use products, as well as about 200 kilograms of tobacco prepared for processing, intended for distribution in the country.

A 28-year-old woman and two men aged 30 and 51 were detained for up to 24 hours, with the older of them having been previously convicted of similar crimes. A report will be submitted to the Sofia District Prosecutor's Office with the materials on the case.
