This project investigates the cracks in Bulgaria’s justice system through two lenses: property fraud and regional crime. One report examines real estate scams, the vulnerable groups most at risk, the mechanisms of these schemes, and the number of convictions that actually make it to court. The second dives into Bulgaria’s most crime-ridden regions, analyzing the volume of indictments, conviction rates, and the types of crimes that dominate. Together, the stories reveal the systemic flaws and the social toll of justice delayed or denied.
