An audit report following reports of abuses in the state corporation Terem Holding EAD<\/strong> has found numerous irregularities and indicators of fraud. The audit was sent to the prosecutor’s office, which, however, crushed the file. It is not clear why the new leadership of the Ministry of Defense has not appealed the prosecutor’s decree. <\/p>\n

“Professionalism, ethics and integrity”<\/span><\/h2>\n

This is the motto of Terem Holding EAD, a state-owned company with the Ministry of Defense as its principal. It is the umbrella of several enterprises specializing in repair, modernization and logistical support of aviation equipment \/Terem – Letets\/, ships and vessels \/Terem – Shipyard Fleet Arsenal – Varna\/, armored vehicles \/Terem – Khan Krum\/, small arms, artillery, missile weapons and ammunition \/Terem – Tsar Samuil\/, radar equipment and communication equipment \/Terem – Ivaylo\/. All these companies, except for Terem – Shipyard, are at a loss and have been decapitalized. This does not prevent their leadership from receiving solid salaries, as it became clear from the answer of former Minister Dimitar Stoyanov to a parliamentary question. The former director of the holding received BGN 131,190. salary for 2022, and the directors of the indebted companies from BGN 60 to BGN 96,000. The text of the report contains specific data that cast doubt on ethics and integrity, including indicators of fraud in public procurement, serious and illegal accounting violations, unrealized deliveries in helicopter and tank repairs, understated prices for helicopter repairs commissioned by private companies, irregularities in the rental of real estate and other violations. led to a difficult financial situation and decapitalization of the companies under the umbrella of the holding. There is also a recommendation of the auditors to send the report to the prosecutor’s office. The full text of the 54-page report can be viewed here<\/a>. The audit was prepared in August 2022 during the time of the previous Minister of Defense Dimitar Stoyanov<\/strong>, after several signals were received by the Ministry of Defense at the end of 2021 and in the spring of 2022. Despite the serious findings in the audit report, Stoyanov limited himself to reprimanding the then executive director Krastyo Krastev<\/strong>. He was replaced only under the current minister Todor Tagarev<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Prosecutor’s Office sees no problem<\/span><\/h2>\n

The auditors’ report was sent to the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office, where file No. 17302\/2022 was opened. But from the Ministry’s answer to our questions, it is clear that this has not been done. The PFIA has taken the audit more seriously. The State Financial Inspectorate has drawn up and handed over to the former executive director of Terem Holding EAD 5 acts for establishing administrative violations. The abuses listed in the audit report are numerous and serious, but BIRD sources claim that this is only “the visible part of the iceberg”. The theft from the state-owned military-industrial complex was apparently large-scale and umbrellad for years. What is puzzling is the lack of interest on the part of the current leadership to unravel these violations and crimes in order to lead to punishments, not just dismissals, and not all those involved in the schemes. Below we publish one-to-one the response of the Ministry of Defense to the questions sent by the editors about the measures taken by the Ministry of Defense to deal with the problems identified in the report and what happened to the file opened by the Prosecutor’s Office: <\/p>\n
