A large-scale fraud scheme was uncovered in a joint raid by the General Directorate Combating Organized Crime and the police in Plovdiv. Businessmen who paid large sums of money ranging from EUR 750 000 and EUR 1 million euros were the victims.

It took the competent authorities nearly one year to uncover the criminal group after the victims had realized they had become victims of fraud.
