After being informed of the detention of the trio, anti-mafia officers from the capital, Sofia, and the Regional Directorate in Pleven carried out searches and seizures at the home of the organizer, 51-year-old P.Z., while the Pleven and Nikopol homes of the three arrested men were also raided.
The police seized computers and laptops, USB flash drives, devices for the manipulation of ATMs, a large number of credit cards, some of them "white plastic" - with no information except the magnetic strip.
Counterfeit banknotes with face value of EUR 100 and EUR 200 were discovered, along with several mobile phones and SIM cards.
The organizer of the group was detained for 24 hours, as pre-trial proceedings were initiated. All the members of the group have previous criminal records.
