A 54-year-old man was arrested for trying to bribe Stara Zagorje police officers.

This was announced by the press center of the regional directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the city.

A little after midnight today, a team of the First District Office in Stara Zagora stopped to check a car on M.M. Kusev Blvd.

During the inspection, the driver left a banknote with a denomination of BGN 100 in the police car.

Hours earlier, another driver had also tried to avoid a uniformed check.

The 27-year-old driver of an Opel car was stopped for a routine check.

A banknote with a face value of BGN 10 was thrown into the police car.

The two men were detained for up to 24 hours.

In the cases, expedited proceedings were instituted under Art.

304a of the Criminal Code.

Work on attempted bribery continues under the supervision of the District Prosecutor's Office-Stara Zagora.

If the drivers are found guilty, they can be punished with imprisonment for up to ten years and a fine of up to BGN 15,000.
