The European Public Prosecutor's Office in Sofia has conducted searches at two hotels in a Bulgarian ski resort as part of an investigation into fraud involving EU subsidies for Covid-19, reports BNR's Brussels correspondent Angelina Piskova. The money was supposed to be used to compensate staff salaries as tourism was suspended during the pandemic.
