Bulgarian authorities reveal smuggling network involving seized goods during major operation. Operation coordinated by police and Customs Agency targets illegal sales of confiscated products.
Nine suspects, including six Customs employees, were arrested after early morning raids.
Officers conduct inventory checks in customs warehouses and gather evidence for prosecution. Illicit goods, mainly fake products from Türkiye, diverted from destruction, authorities allege.
Items were reportedly sold both physically and through online platforms, official reports confirm. Operation continues near Lesovo and Kapitan Andreevo as investigations remain actively ongoing.
