The names of Bulgarian politicians in the Pandora Papers to become clear within days

Two former politicians from Bulgaria are part of the so-called Pandora Papers - revelations about financial secrets of politicians, businessmen and others around the world, who hid huge sums in offshore accounts.

The names of the former Bulgarian politicians connected with the Pandora Papers will be announced within days, Atanas Chobanov from Bird.bg, who participated in the investigation, told BNR. According to him, they are related to parties that have ruled and that are also part of the so-called "backstage rule", which in Bulgaria until recently was considered the "informal power".
