Rumyana Arnaudova, Spokesperson for Bulgaria’s Prosecutor General, has said that within the scope of its competence the Prosecutor’s Office is determined to stop practices of siphoning the National Health Insurance Fund via the so-called “parallel export” of medications.

Tax audits have been assigned to 42 legal entities as well as inspections of 30 pharmacies and 3 hospitals. Evidence is being collected to bring charges of tax offenses violating the interests of citizens and the state.

The head of the specialized prosecutor's office Ivan Geshev has said that a boss of an organized crime group for illegal re-export of expensive drugs has been detained for 72 hours and six of his accomplices have been put under restrained with a safe pledge.
