Corruption and scandals
- Charged with mismanagement in 2012. Mediapool reports it, citing the then Sofia City Prosecutor Nikolay Kokinov, in an article on the candidates BSP and DPS MPs were discussing for director of the State Fund Agriculture, she among them. The outlet does not give the outcome. — Mediapool, 15.10.2013
- Reinstates a dismissed director at SAPARD. Money.bg, which calls her a favourite of the DPS leaders, writes that as head of the State Fund Agriculture she brought back a director whom the agency's previous head, Konstantin Palikarski, had removed "for violations and conflict of interest" (our translation). — Money.bg, 07.02.2009
- Named by Ahmed Dogan at the Kochan meeting. Mediapool recalls that at that pre-election meeting in June 2009 the DPS leader counted her among the instruments through which the portions of power are distributed. She was then head of the State Fund Agriculture. — Mediapool, 15.10.2013
Other
- Expelled from the DPS parliamentary group. She sided with Ahmed Dogan, did not support the Zhelyazkov draft cabinet and was among the MPs who met the honorary chairman at Rosenets, Utro Ruse writes. The DPS regional council in Ruse declared itself firmly against the decision as contrary to the principles of democracy and to the party statute. — Utro Ruse, 12.07.2024
- Assets in her declarations to the anti-corruption commission. Utro Ruse writes that she is sole owner of two Sofia-registered companies, Biznes Konsult i Inovatsii EOOD and Biznes Konsult - AYa EOOD, and that between the 48th and 49th National Assemblies her bank deposit fell by 30,399 leva to 82,101 leva, with no large purchases shown. — Utro Ruse, 16.08.2023
- At the State Fund Agriculture during the SAPARD scandals. Mediapool notes that while she worked there some of the biggest scandals over the pre-accession programme broke and the European Commission froze payments under it because of the abuses. The article does not attribute any wrongdoing to her personally. — Mediapool, 15.10.2013
