The Sofia City Court has fully acquitted the former Executive Director of the Republican Road Infrastructure Fund, Veselin Georgiev, on charges of an offence concerning his professional conduct.

Georgiev faced charges over signing 8 public procurement contracts worth BGN 120 M with three companies, thereby benefitting his two brothers, who were part of the management of these firms.

Bulgaria's profit from the eight years of EU membership stands at BGN 14.7 B, according to Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov.

Goranov presented the data in a written response to a question of an MP from center-right party GERB (Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria), according to reports of the BGNES news agency.
