A Bulgarian politician with a fake diploma

Although people here complain that their governments suck, in Bulgaria it's even worse.
The ex head of Agriculture Fund was hired with a fake diploma.

No government's perfect, but at least in the UK and the USA there aren't cases with faked diplomas of government officials (or are there?).

A quote from the article:

“The Criminal Code stipulates up to eight years imprisonment for a person who uses a fake document for higher education,” Rusi Alexiev, Deputy Chief of the Sofia Regional Prosecutor’s Office, told Klassa.

On Tuesday, the Sofia Regional Prosecutor’s Office initiated an investigation into the false diploma of the former head of the Agriculture Fund. Pre-trial proceedings have begun to cover the origin of the diploma and who produced it. “Kalina Ilieva will be questioned, as well as many officials to whom she presented this document,” Alexander Nalbantov, head of the Sofia District Court, told bTV. The difference in the rector’s signature on the copy of Ilieva’s diploma and its original can be seen. An inquiry of the official from the university in Berlin will be ordered by the court.

Lmao.. Guess he went to the wrong shop for his.. Theres many places to get diplomas from.. (Along with i.d, passports, driving licenses etc..) would probably shock people just how prevalent fake diplomas / degrees are.. Thats what happens when people value paper over experience..

This is not a surprising news that a politician is having a fake degree or diploma. I think that a printed paper can't decide anyone's capability. So if someone has guts and talent than he can progress even with a fake diploma.
