Prosecutor's Office initiated pre-trial proceedings for stigmatizing against co-owner and editor in chief of investigative website "Bivol" Atanas Chobanov. This happened after the signal of Ivan Danov,  former minister of investment projects in the previous cabinet.  "Bivol" exposed him in improperly receiving nearly 15000 euros from the French social services from September 2004 to May 2005. As Bivol’s investigation revealed, in the course of eight months, Danov had been signing false declarations of unemployment and of seeking job in France, while, at the same time, he worked and developed business in Bulgaria.
