During an operation of the General Directorate Combating Organised Crime under the leadership and supervision of the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office and the National Revenue Agency, a criminal group involved in tax crimes and money laundering through the sale of luxury cars was neutralized. Four people were arrested and charged, 9 car dealerships were inspected and over 30 cars were seized, BNT reported.

The operation was carried out in Sofia, Plovdiv and Pazardzhik on February 19 and 20, 2025. The illegal activity caused damage to the state budget in the amount of over 5 million euros. A network of commercial companies was used for this purpose and the cash flow was controlled through bank transfers.

The four people arrested have been charged with participation in an organized criminal group, tax crimes on a particularly large scale and money laundering. The investigation continues.
