Former Minister of Finance Vladislav Goranov was intercepted, at the Bulgaria-Serbia border, driving a leased car on Interpol, Russia’s stolen vehicles list, the Interior Ministry press service has confirmed for the BNR.
Vladislav Goranov bought the vehicle on hire purchase from a well-known leasing company which represents several car makes in this country. After it transpired there was a problem involving the car, the former GERB party finance minister turned back, and a few hours later crossed the border in another vehicle.
