Ombudsman Diana Kovacheva is proposing that sellers of old cars, sold before 2017, be able to deregister them at the traffic police department by presenting the buy-sell contracts. This will end the corrupt practice of unscrupulous buyers failing to register the vehicle acquired, which can be used to commit a crime the responsibility for which rests with the seller, BTA reports.
According to Diana Kovacheva there are a great many complaints by people convicted of crimes committed using vehicles whose current owners have not registered them to their name. In this way Bulgarian citizens have been sentenced, in absentia, to tens of years of imprisonment and fines by Greek courts, most often for the trafficking of migrants.
