The Movement for Rights and Freedoms, MRF, will submit, to the prosecutor general, reports it has received of violations in the acquisition of Bulgarian citizenship by investment.

“We shall demand a full investigation by the prosecutor’s office of each individual case because what we are seeing in the documents is dreadful – there are interesting Chinese, Russians, all kinds of people appearing here. We want to know who lobbied for each one of them, what violations, what swindles these passports were used for,” said Hamid Hamid, deputy chair of the MRF parliamentary group.

103 individuals have acquired Bulgarian citizenship by investment, the so-called “golden passports”, since 2013. “They are the reason why the US is not abolishing visas for Bulgarians,” Hamid Hamid stated.
