Organized crime in Bulgaria is under control and largely neutralized, Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, declared to reporters late Saturday evening.

In Tsvetanov's words, the systematic approach of the law enforcement system "brought to light the criminal contingent" and no longer allows an environment favorable for major drug lords to thrive as it was in previous years.

In his typical manner, Tsvetanov did not miss to bash the judicial system, which, he said, must "respond to the expectations of the public, be guided only by the rule of law, and play a preventive role."

The Minister's comments came as response to journalists' questions to give his opinion on the not-guilty verdict in the highly publicized double homicide case in front of Sofia's night club "Solo."

"When there is justice, and Court rules correspond to all evidence in an investigation, only then the good image of the Bulgaria's judicial system will become a fact," Tsvetanov stressed.

The Interior Minister reiterated the common view of his ruling Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party, GERB that it is impossible to explain to Bulgarian citizens how in the last 20 years, the authorities never managed to find enough proof so that those responsible for the deplorable situation in the State receive effective sentences.
