Haralampiev showed muscles on his birthday 2 weeks ago.
The specialized prosecutor’s office sued the former head of the agency for Bulgarians abroad, the chief secretary Krassimir Tomov and two of his intermediaries.
The former head of the State Agency for Bulgarians Abroad (SABA), Petar Haralampiev-Bate Haro, received bribes in his office, where he accepted candidates for Bulgarian citizenship. They carried their money in envelopes and he drank it with alcohol. This was told by the witnesses to the investigation against him, Chief Secretary Krassimir Tomov and 2 other of his mediators, who were arrested on October 29, 2018. The specialized prosecutor’s office closed the investigation and filed an accusation in court against senior officials of the government. Haralampiev took the money to issue certificates of Bulgarian origin to foreigners, after which they obtained passports. Neither candidate had Bulgarian roots. In addition to the bribes he received in person, Bate Haro was also charged with influencing trading because he threatened to fire his deputy if he refused to sign warrants to issue false certificates.
The Secretary General of the Agency, Krassimir Tomov, personally advised the citizenship candidates on how to manipulate the papers of the applications for the issuance of a certificate of Bulgarian origin. He also accepted bribes, but only from an intermediary: a woman who worked in the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy. She, who is also a witness, was seen outside the SABS building. Tomov demonstrated a high standard of living, regularly went on vacation abroad, flaunted expensive watches, learned “24 hours”. Besides being a member of the gang led by Haralampiev, Krassimir Tomov will also be tried for money laundering. Prosecutors found BGN 564,000 in cash, in various currencies, in a bank safe in his name. Tomov declared only BGN 22,000 to KPKONPI. Tomov blatantly explained during questioning that part of the large sum belonged to his girlfriend, with whom he lives in a family way, and the rest belonged to a very famous former soccer player from Sofia’s team.
From the investigation of the Special Prosecutor’s Office for corruption in the SABS, materials have been separated for something else, about which there are still no charges. From a report by the State Financial Inspection Agency, it became clear that Haralampiev and Tomov also committed official crimes because they misused company cars, fuel for them, bonus money and employee salaries.
