Exhibition of Bulgarian Artifacts Drew Record Crowds in North America
After more than a year of touring, the Bulgarian treasures from the "First Rulers of Europe" exhibition have returned to Bulgaria
A Bulgarian who cheated would-be shepherds into paying for non-existent jobs in Australia has been arrested in Spain, local media reported.
Dimitar Dimitrov P was arrested in the coastal town of Torrevieja, The Local, a Spanish English-language news provider, reported, citing a statement by the Spanish police.
The 40-year-old was the subject of an international arrest warrant for his role in scamming Bulgarian jobseekers hoping to find work in Australia as shepherds.
In February 2000, he posted a job ad in the Bulgarian press advertising the desirable positions.
Candidates were asked to fill out a form supposedly created by an Australian Government agency acting as an intermediary between the candidates and farmers.
The would-be shepherds then had to send in their details — and a small fee.
There was just one catch: the jobs didn't exist, and neither did the Australian Government agency.
Some 221 fell victims to the scam, Spanish police said in their statement.
