The liver was transported on a truck with UK registration number. It was found at a parking lot near Plovdiv Customs. The driver of the vehicle is a fifty six year old man with Bulgarian and Turkish nationality. Officers of the Bulgarian Customs Agency and the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency undertook administrative measures aimed at confiscating and destroying the liver in an incinerator.
