The controversial top secret intelligence report of the Bulgarian State National Security Agency has been published online Monday night.

On Saturday, Bulgaria's Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, accused his predecessor Sergey Stanishev of concealing the DANS report from October 2008, which allegedly incriminated top officials with corruption.

Bulgaria's PM Borisov said he was given the report by former secret agent Aleksei Petrov who gave it to him on Friday, October 23, 2009.

What is said to be the original DANS Report in question is published HERE and HERE. The 26-page report is in Bulgarian.

The report is entitled, "Information Regarding the actions of persons and circles, exerting destructive influence on the functioning of ministries and structures of the state administration."

The authenticity of the report published online has not been confirmed, and it is unclear who posted it on the Internet.

The beginning paragraph of the alleged top secret report is the following:

“The data coming to DANS indicate the existence of a structure acting parallel to the state authority, which has serious opportunities, funds, and positions for influencing the executive and legislative authorities, and the political and social life in the country. This structure is aspiring to create sustainable forms of parallel authority within the state institutions and services, whose functioning would be guaranteed regardless of the changing of the ruling majority in the government and the Parliament. There are categorical data that representatives of business, state institutions, media, and organized criminal groups in certain cases undertake synchronized actions for achieving their common interests.”
