The action of the European Prosecutor's Office is taking place at "Bulgargaztrans" offices in Sofia. According to bTV, the police secured access to the gas operator this morning without specifying how many investigators are involved. Brussels refuses to comment on the action.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, access is provided for an investigation related to the Turkish gas company Botas. The European Commission has been examining "Botas" for several weeks.
BGNES reminds that at the beginning of August, the Minister of Energy Vladimir Malinov asked his Turkish colleague Alparslan Bayraktar the question of the renegotiation of the agreement between Bulgargaz and the Turkish energy company Botas.
Earlier, the Turkish company rejected Bulgaria's request to review the gas contract. The Turkish gas operator has warned our country of serious consequences if it does not pay under the 13-year agreement.
On August 15, Botas representatives will visit Bulgaria for a meeting with Bulgargaz. | BGNES
