The Prosecutor's Office in Germany has suspended the investigation against former head of the Bulgarian State Agriculture Fund, Kalina Ilieva, who was found to have forged her diploma for a Master's degree from a German university.

The Prosecutor's Office decided there were not enough evidence that Ilieva forged her diploma from the Berlin Technical Institute at German territory.

The spokesperson of the Prosecutor's Office has pointed out that the only direct connection of the case with Germany was the name of the institute, as cited by BNT.

The former head of the Bulgarian Agriculture Fund was dismissed in October after it was revealed she was pregnant. Previously, she lied she had a tumor and was very ill in an attempt to conceal the pregnancy.

Another scandal erupted at the end of November, when it turned out that her diploma from the Berlin Technical Institute was forged.
