Karaivanov, who accepted two bribes on Wednesday, was arrested in the moment when he was handed the second sum of EUR 600.
After a search was carried out in his office, the authorities found BGN 600, the sum of the bribe he had taken earlier on Wednesday, as well another EUR 12 000.
Following a search in the home of Karaivanov, the authorities found BGN 6000 in his outer clothing and three sacks with customs documents (both originals and copies).
