Prime Minister Boyko Borissov fired Plamen Mollov as director of the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency over the Aladdin Foods scandal.

The owner of the most popular butcher shops in our country - Aladdin Harfan, announced yesterday that for a year now the Food Agency has been blackmailing him, asking him for 10,000 euros a month in order not to close his business.

According to Harfan, after he refused to pay bribes to inspectors, his chicken shops closed.

His accusation was backed by other donut owners, who say inspectors have warned them not to buy meat from Aladdin. Money was also demanded from them in order not to close their commercial sites.

After the public sensation, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Desislava Taneva wished to meet with Aladdin Harfan, where he reaffirmed his accusations.

At the meeting, other companies also confirmed that the inspectors were racketeering them. After hearing them, Taneva proposed the dismissal of the BFSA chief. The new director of the Food Agency is Dr. Damyan Iliev.

However, it was not clear whether or not there was racketeering by the inspection bodies, as well as what solution will be found for the problem if the BFSA really blackmails traders in our country.

Plamen Mollov himself denies the accusations and even said that he would refer the case to the prosecutor's office for moral damage and damage to the prestige of the institution. The former director has even posted a photo of worm meat, claiming it is from Aladdin.

Flavored well with vinegar and garlic, so that the meat is not in what condition it is - writes the former head of the BFSA.

Mollov claims that the accusations of racketeering are pure slander, and that Aladdin's chicken shops have been closed because of gross violations.

These include poor hygiene, lack of traceability for meat, lack of hot water, lack of process control facilities and lack of records of meat processing and storage temperatures.
