The Bulgaria Parliament has endorsed the Report on the operation of the Committee for Combating Corruption and Confiscation of Illegally Acquired Property for 2019. Of the 177 MPs who voted, 131 were in favour, one against and 45 abstained.

The report states that in 2019 the anti-corruption committee received a total of 166 signals on which proceedings were instituted. Sanctions and confiscation of property under penal decrees to the tune of BGN 173,511 (EUR 88,714) were imposed.

MPs from the Bulgarian Socialist Party criticized the report, saying that despite the reported activity, the levels of corruption in the country remain high.

MPs from the ruling GERB party objected that the data in the report showed that the commission was working seriously.
