Apart from that, in March 2010, taking advantage of his official capacity, then-Agriculture Minister Miroslav Naydenov secured an unlawful benefit for Yosif Novosad, manager and owner of Cheh – Yosif Novosad OOD. Novosad was guaranteed that he would win the public procurement deal opened by the State Fund Agriculture for supplying food products to people from disadvantaged groups in 2010, which constitutes an offence under Art. 283 of the Penal Code.
