Bulgarian political leader Delyan Peevski, head of the DPS-Novo Nachalo party, has faced a series of corruption allegations involving public procurement and personal expenses.

Initially, Peevski denied claims linking him and his family to companies involved in the procurement of sleeping bags, describing the allegations as “lies”. He called for the National Revenue Agency to conclude its investigation and countered by accusing Minister Ivan Demerzhiev of corruption regarding his own family's property acquisitions.

The controversy escalated when Prime Minister Rumen Radev alleged that intelligence services in Malta provided 36 invoices totaling 5 million euros. Radev claimed these documents suggest funds from public procurement contracts for capes were diverted to a company named ‘Spectrum’ to pay for Peevski’s flights. Peevski challenged these claims, demanding the public release of the invoices and stating his travel was funded through “absolutely legitimate activity”. He issued an ultimatum, stating he would resign as party leader if the invoices are proven to exist, while demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister or the dismissal of Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev if the documents cannot be produced.
