Balgarianovinite.com The Customs Agency, in cooperation with the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) in Bulgaria, seized 12 containers containing goods worth more than USD 2 million at the end of July, the agency said.
The seized goods include more than 3,800 technical lithium-ion modular units, fastening components, and related documentation, with a total weight of over 268,000 kilograms.
The operation was carried out in the area of the ports of Burgas and Varna by teams of investigative customs inspectors appointed by the Minister of Finance as investigative authorities in cases handled by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, together with customs officials from the Central Customs Directorate and the regional customs offices of Burgas and Varna.
The operation is part of an investigation led by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office in Romania into a possible fraud involving EU funds related to two projects for the production of lithium-ion batteries and the processing of metal modular structures, with a total value of around EUR 10 million and co-financed by the European Union.
During their actions, the investigative customs authorities determined that the goods should be detained because they are connected to an ongoing investigation in Romania, as well as to prevent an attempt to redirect and export them from the country.
The operation was carried out thanks to the effective cooperation between the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Bulgarian Customs Agency.
