Bulgarian Customs Agency Head Received Discrediting Text Messages

Vanyo Tanov, head of the Bulgarian Customs Agency, has alarmed the country's Prosercutor's Office over anonymous discrediting text messages he received.

"The ship is at Thessalon?ki – what should we do with the cigarettes?" is one of the anonymous messages Tanov received, he revealed before Nova TV. "It is unclear where these messages are sent from. The State National Security Agency and the Prosecutor's Office said there is no information about any crime having been committed and they are not working on the case," Tanov said.

Tanov was involved in Bulgaria's eavesdropping scandal, which erupted in January when the controversial Galeria weekly published transcripts of taped phone conversations between him and senior government officials, which prompted the country's Prime Minister Boyko Borisov to seek and win a confidence vote in Parliament on January 20.

The recordings of the conversations were made with special surveillance devices, experts from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences concluded.
