Bulgaria’s Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, declared that his cabinet wants to make the OLAF probes count as court evidence.
Borisov spoke to the media Wednesday after meeting at the Council of Ministers with Thierry Cretin, Director of Directorate A (Operations and Investigations I) in OLAF, the anti-fraud office of the European Commission.
The two discussed Bulgaria’s progress in countering abuse of EU funds and collaboration between OLAF and the Bulgarian authorities.
