The Ministry of Transport and Communications supports the European Public Prosecutor's Office's investigation into irregularities in two rail infrastructure modernisation projects. An audit of the way in which public funds are spent in the structures of the Ministry was one of the first steps that Minister Georgi Gvozdeykov took upon taking office.
‘I have immediately ordered the National Railway Inforstructure Company (NKZI) to fully cooperate with the Prosecutor's Office and I hope it will go all the way in its investigation,’ Minister Gvozdeykov said.
Earlier today, the European Public Prosecutor's Office announced that they have started inspections of the projects for the modernisation of the railway sections Kostenets—Septemvri and Orizovo—Mihailovo.
