British services suspect that this is the biggest financial fraud in the country’s history.

British services are on the trail of Bulgarian gangs who have stolen aid aimed at coping with the economic consequences of the coronavirus in Britain. An anonymous source from the Ministry of Labor revealed to the Daily Mail that it is probably the largest financial fraud committed in the country’s history. According to him, 90% of robberies are led by criminal groups from Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Albania and Turkey.

The disclosure comes days after a publicly announced financial audit of one of the British government’s measures showed that

26 billion pounds

under the program of loans to companies in problems with up to 50 thousand pounds. On the other hand, the tax authorities are checking the allocation of money to some 27,000 people for a total of 3,500 million pounds sterling who have benefited from the support scheme for forced licenses. They are entitled to receive up to 80% of their previous salary or up to £ 2,500 a month, but many applicants have lied about their income. This was possible because the money was released on the basis of statements made so as not to delay its release, but subsequent inspections revealed that it was about inactive companies and identity theft, including deceased persons.

If before we worked on 200 fraud cases per month throughout the country, then in June we had to deal with 15,000, and only for a small area, revealed the minister. It was found that

for £ 2,500 a month, making it clear that this was an abuse scheme backed by organized crime. Among them was a Romanian woman who lives in an expensive area preferred by English footballers and owns an entire street with properties in her homeland. Another involved in the fraud was detained at the border in an attempt to leave the country with 80,000 in a bag.

after declaring that 7 of their companies had stopped working because of the coronavirus, but the inspection showed that they had not worked before the epidemic.

According to the official, the government refuses to publicly acknowledge the scale of the abuses because it means it has failed in its economic program to deal with the coronavirus. However, a spokesman for the Employment Ministry said the fraud rate was relatively small, with 96.5 percent of benefits paid correctly.
