Anti-Corruption Commission Finds
Discrepancy in Agriculture Minister's Assets Declaration and
Real Assets


May 10 (BTA) - An audit by the anti-corruption commission has found discrepancies between the assets that Agriculture Minister Roumen Porozhanov has declared in his mandatory asset disclosure declaration, and what he really possesses. The commission announced that on its website on Friday but would not provide any details on the nature of the "discrepancy".

Responding to media reports that it has covered up information about assets owned by Porozhanov's partner, the commission said that it has not made the information about the partner public at Porozhanov's express request, which the law allows.

In a report on the "discrepancy" established by the anti-corruption commission, the Bulgarian National Radio said that it may trigger an asset forfeiture procedure against
Porozhanov. LN/IG
