EPPO presses charges against two Bulgarians suspected of fraud for EUR 66,750

According to the investigation, the manager of the company and his accomplice, who acted as the project leader, provided false information to the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy in order to receive funds intended to support the employment of unemployed and inactive people. The funds were allocated under Human Resources Development Operational Programme 2014-2020, which promotes local employment.

Instead of providing job opportunities, professional training and qualifications, the two individuals forged documents in 2021-2022 to create the impression that the project's objectives had been met.
