Bulgaria’s Interior Ministry has arrested a sizable portion of the top criminals which, in its words, “torture” the country’s society.
According to Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov, 40-50 of the top 300 gangsters in Bulgaria have been detained, and the police hope to bust all of the rest by the end of 2010.
Speaking at a news conference Tuesday at which the Sofia Directorate of the Police presented the results of its activities in 2009, Tsvetanov also said that a total of 52 police officers were dismissed and currently faced charges of corruption and abuse of power.
The Minister pointed out that a number of acting Interior officers were currently being investigated by the internal security directorate for corruption and links with organized crime.
He announced that a border policeman has been arrested at the Kapitan Andreevo border crossing for human trafficking, which is the third case of a police officer busted under the same investigation targeting the traffic of people through Bulgaria’s Turkish border.
The Interior Ministry is also investigating policemen in the town of Samokov who are connected with town councilor from the nationalist Ataka party, Yuri Galev. In January, Galev and his friends beat two guards of a ski lift in the Borovetz resort.
