Customs officers at Kapitan Andreevo BCP found undeclared 220,000 euros during an inspection of a truck leaving the country. The money was found in a bag of chocolates.
On March 20, 2026, a semi-trailer tractor arrived at the point, traveling without cargo, from Romania through Bulgaria to Turkey. The driver, a Turkish citizen, told customs officers that he was not carrying anything to declare. After a risk analysis, the vehicle was selected for a thorough customs inspection. During the inspection, a passenger bag full of various chocolates was found in the driver's cabin on the upper bunk. Under them, customs officers found foiled bundles of euro banknotes in denominations of 50 and 100 euros with a total value of 220,000 euros.
A pre-trial investigation has been initiated into the case by an investigating customs inspector under the supervision of the Regional Prosecutor's Office - Haskovo - Territorial Department - Svilengrad.
