Four people were arrested and charged, 9 car dealerships were inspected and over 30 cars were seized, BNT reported.

The operation was carried out in Sofia, Plovdiv and Pazardzhik on February 19 and 20, 2025. The illegal activity caused damage to the state budget in the amount of over 5 million euros.
