Another example for the level of corruption in Bulgaria!
Apparently 20 Bulgarian customs officers who works in the Turkish border control, applied to their job with fake diplomas. These people were already filmed before while demanding bribe from Turkish people who tries to pass from the border.
16 Bulgarian Customs Officers Suspected of Diploma Forgery
There are strong suspicions that sixteen Customs officers from the Svilengrad Customs on the Bulgarian – Turkish border have been hired after presenting fake college diplomas.
The news was reported Thursday by the Bulgarian National Radio, BNR.
A check of the Customs Agency has shown that on the day the officers had to take their final college exam, known as the State exam, 10 of the 16 worked during the day shift, and 6 worked the night shift. In addition, some of them somehow took 6 exams in one day at some point during the course of their studies.
Customs Chief, Vanio Tanov, is quoted saying that the above is certain evidence the diplomas are fake. The 16 cases will be referred to the new Chief Prosecutor, who was just sworn in office Thursday.
Four people from the Svilengrad Customs have already been fired for using a forged document.
The work of the Customs officers, often exposed in corruption, has come under higher scrutiny in the last year. In May 2012, the entire shift of the Svilengrad Customs was caught red-handed when taking bribes, while all of the Customs officers failed the administered loyalty test.

Turkish state already stopped accepting Bulgarian issued diplomas for a while but i started to wonder about whats the percentage of fake diplomas in Bulgaria? Everyone has at least one fake diploma in there?
