$14.3 Million Fake Bills Seized In Bulgaria

Bulgarian Authorities have recovered 14.3 million fake dollars after they raided a print shop on Monday that was making counterfeit cash.

According to the Interior Ministry on Monday, the Special forces which combat organised crime stormed a basement in an hotel in the Black Sea resort of Sunny Beach seized some 100-euro and 500-euro notes and 50-dollars bills, the ministry said.

“From the print shop and from different hideouts, over 11 million fake euros and over 1.7 million dollars were seized, some stockpiled ready and some unfinished,’’ the statement said.

The raid at the print shop, is the biggest to be discovered for 11 years, as well as some other 30 sites in the Balkan country, followed a 10-month investigation supported by Europol and U.S. intelligence.

The print shop has sophisticated presses making very high quality bills, prosecutors overseeing the operation said, adding that four people were arrested.
