Crime assets Bulgaria’s Parliament passed a law yesterday authorizing the confiscation of illegally obtained assets in an effort to rid the EU candidate state of rampant corruption and organized crime. Interior Minister Georgi Petkanov hailed the law as a crucial weapon against the huge crime-driven black economy that is one of the main obstacles to Bulgaria’s plans to join the EU in 2007. “By adopting this law, Bulgaria has shown its determination to cope with one of the ugliest phenomena of our times — enrichment from criminal activities,” Petkanov told Reuters.
