The leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) parliamentary group, Delyan Peevski, has referred a case of evasion of EU sanctions against Russia to the Prosecutor-General and the head of SANS, the party's press centre said. The alert was the result of a journalistic investigation into allegations that a Russian oligarch and politician close to Vladimir Putin had multibillion-dollar business interests in the country.

"Despite Bulgaria's declaration of commitment to compliance with sanctions against Russia, journalists are proving that Bulgaria is a way of easily circumventing them. I insist on a thorough investigation and punishment if proven guilty," said the MP, who himself was sanctioned under the Magnitsky Act.

This is the latest signal with which Delyan Peevski referred to the Prosecutor's Office and SANS, related to the systematic violation of sanctions against Russia, after the one about Russian state property in Bulgaria and the series of signals about Lukoil's activities, MRF recalled.
