Minister of Culture Nayden Todorov announced that two people from the ministry have been identified as being involved in the scheme for siphoning off money from the budget.
You can’t have schemes without the involvement of people from the Ministry of Culture, Minister Todorov said in an interview with public service TV BNT. “We established it was not just about siphoning off money for salaries. There have also been stratagems involving companies which received hundreds of thousands of leva,” Minister Todorov said but went on to complain he didn’t have the legal grounds to sack the two officials from the ministry. “One of them is on leave,” he said. The Ministry of Culture has been deprived of its control functions for a long time, but they should be restored, he said further. If anyone knew about these schemes but kept their mouth shut, that makes them complicit, Nayden Todorov said.
