Two Bulgarian Officers Arrested for Bribery at Gyueshevo Border Crossing

In a recent operation organized by The Directorate-General for Border Police, a significant development unfolded late on March 23 at the Gyueshevo border crossing. Two border policemen, aged 38 and 49, found themselves in custody following their apprehension by the Internal Security Directorate and Special Tactical Actions sector of the RDGP-Kyustendil. Their arrest came mere minutes after they were caught accepting a bribe amounting to 150 euros.

The illicit exchange occurred when Albanian citizens sought to evade penalties for overstaying in Bulgaria, with one individual aged 39 attempting to cross into North Macedonia. However, their plans were thwarted as law enforcement swiftly intervened. As part of the operation, additional foreign citizens were also detained.
