Bulgaria’s Anti-Corruption Commission is initiating proceedings against Minister of Transport Nikolay Sabev and his deputy Iliya Iliev over conflict of interests. According to media reports, the transport minister continued to be a partner in a private company after taking office and the company's activities overlap with his ministerial powers.
Another signal claims that Sabev appointed Iliya Iliev as his deputy responsible for the railway sector department, despite data that Iliev has connections with private companies building railway infrastructure. On February 22, by order of Prime Minister Kiril Petkov, Iliev was relieved of his position as Deputy Minister of Transport.
