The Anti-Corruption Fund showed a map with the exact location of the over 240 sites found with unregulated construction waste and rubble dumping. It was provided by the Sofia Inspectorate in connection with the „Lords of the Dirt“ investigation.
The map shows that most of the dumpsites are located in central and peripheral Sofia districts, while some of them are located on the outskirts of the capital and nearby villages.
The Anti-Corruption Fund wrote the following:
“We are publishing the map because we believe that it is right to make it public, to illustrate the scale of the problem and so that any citizen can visit the mapped sites if they wish and see for themselves what causes the unregulated dumping of this kind of waste.”
Earlier in the week, the Anti-Corruption Fund announced its own investigation into a long-running corruption scheme in the Metropolitan Inspectorate that has created a parallel system of dumping construction waste and rubble at more than 240 unregulated dumpsites across Sofia.
In addition to the serious environmental risks caused, the abuses uncovered by the Inspectorate’s new leadership have harmed Sofia’s budget by hundreds of thousands of leva. It is also clear that for years waste has been dumped in and around river ravines, on agricultural land, on municipal and private properties.
