Minor Detained for Passing Counterfeit 20-Euro Banknotes in the Pazardzhik Region

A minor has been detained after a disclosure that he was putting counterfeit 20-euro banknotes into circulation. The incident was registered last week at the Seprem district police department, where a shop owner reported that a boy entered the store and paid his bill with a 20-euro banknote that later proved to be counterfeit.

A few days later a similar case was documented in the Sep temvr district village Varvara, where a unknown youth paid with a counterfeit 20-euro banknote.

Investigative actions have been undertaken by officers from the Crime Police group at the Sep temvr Police Department. Investigators established that the counterfeit banknotes were circulated by a 14-year-old resident of the nearby village Dorovo.

The work on clarifying the cases continues by forensic specialists and inspectors from the Children's Pedagogical Room. Records have been opened and reported to the prosecutor's office, as stated by the press center of the Regional Directorate of Police in Pazardzhik.
