The management of the largest armaments factory in Bulgaria Vazov Machine-Building Plant EAD (VMZ) has filed a report with the prosecutor's office about a contract that disadvantages the plant on a monthly basis, the company said.

The contract is for the transport of workers. It was signed at the time when the current caretaker minister of economy and industry, Nikola Stoyanov, chaired the board of directors of VMZ. "The new management of the plant, who took over their positions in early June, found a number of questionable contracts, and this is one of the striking examples," VMZ management announced at a press conference.

However, no further details were given as the report has been submitted to the prosecutor's office.
