Europol Director Rob Wainwright is on a working visit to meet with Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, and Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov.
The visit is connected to Bulgarian police operations against counterfeit money, according to Tsvetanov.
Last Friday, police broke a network for printing fake Euros and confiscated fake bills with the nominal value of EUR 0.2 M. The network operated in the region of the second largest city - Plovdiv
Working in cooperation with Europol, police discovered two printing facilities, as well as blueprints for the creation of more than EUR 0.5 M in EUR 100 and 200 bills.
The production of the criminal group was intended to be distributed across the European Union.
