Bulgaria Busts Money-Gangster Ring

Crime | April 14, 2006, Friday // 00:00

A group of 13 Bulgarians were busted on suspicion of large-scale financial frauds, crime combaters announced Friday.

The group is suspected on siphoning taxes of BGN 1 M (about EUR 500 000) every month.

Since late 2005, the suspects apparently used a criminal scheme with about 27 firms to siphon value added tax (VAT), Bulgaria's service against organized crime said.

There are two women among the detainees.

Reports say that the crime ring used to operate in four cities - Plovdiv, Vidin, Pernik and Vratsa.
