Delian Peevski’s travel allegations spark parliamentary scrutiny

Several Bulgarian MPs are demanding a full investigation into MP Delian Peevski’s alleged flights and possible misuse of state information systems. The Ministry of the Interior is accused of using a European data‑sharing platform without judicial authorization, potentially exposing private individuals to wrongful surveillance. Opposition figures, including MP Yavor Gechev and former parliament speaker Natalia Kiselova, have questioned who funded the trips and whether undeclared cash or influence‑peddling were involved. The police have reportedly received reports of undisclosed financial flows linked to the flights, and inquiries have been sent to partner states such as the United Arab Emirates and Turkey to verify passenger lists. The dispute has escalated into a broader debate over government transparency, the legality of the Ministry’s actions, and possible breaches of anti‑money‑laundering rules.
