Boris Mihailov, who was investigated and tried for tax theft for €7.7 million, has been appointed by the caretaker government of Bulgarian President Rumen Radev as director of the State Fund for Agriculture. This fund is the paying agency through which all European funds for agriculture pass in Bulgaria.
Against Mihailov was submitted an indictment for participating in an organized criminal group dealing with tax crimes in 2008. At that time, he was director of the tax department in the Bulgarian capital Sofia. Information about Boris Mihailov’s past was leaked by the party of the former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov - GERB.
