According to the MP, the National Circus Company devised a scheme of fictitious employment at the Circus, through which men of conscription age received permission from the Ministry of Culture to travel abroad and then did not return.
People were registered there as "artists", and a month later they went on "tours" abroad. 78 men never returned. And some of them continued to receive salaries from the budget for months afterwards
He added that a similar situation is observed in philharmonic societies and other cultural institutions, and noted: this already amounts to a crime.
