EU funds used to aid Bulgarian mafia, says report

A report by the European commission has strongly criticised Bulgaria over the administration of EU subsidies that are being used by officials cooperating with the mafia, reports the Telegraph.

The paper quotes the report: "Bulgaria itself has to make the commitment to cleanse its administration and ensure that the generous support it receives from the EU actually reaches its citizens and is not siphoned off by corrupt officials, operating together with organised crime."
