A large-scale fraud scheme was uncovered in a joint raid by the General Directorate Combating Organized Crime and the police in Plovdiv. Businessmen who paid large sums of money ranging from EUR 750 000 and EUR 1 million euros were the victims. Four people who pretended to be authorized persons from the largest Internet search engine were detained during the operation. Businessmen across the country were promised better advertising on the internet. It took the competent authorities nearly one year to uncover the criminal group after the victims had realized they had become victims of fraud.
