What organisations can take from it

Coordinating seemingly technical conditions such as acceptance limits is also a cartel – industry discussions need clear boundaries.

11 Dec 2025 „ЗП Либра“ ООДZP Libra: 44,205 leva for poaching customers using competitor’s trade secrets BulgariaCompetition law €22,602

With the help of an employee of its competitor I&G Insurance Brokers who later moved to ZP Libra, the broker unfairly concluded a brokerage agreement to the detriment of the competitor and used the competitor’s trade secrets to poach customers. The Комисия за защита на конкуренцията (Bulgarian Commission for the Protection of Competition, KZK) imposed 29,470 leva (1% of 2024 turnover, Art. 36(1) ZZK – Bulgarian Protection of Competition Act) and 14,735 leva (0.5%, Art. 37(1) ZZK); fines totalling 1,000 leva were also imposed on the employee.

What organisations can take from it

When hiring employees from competitors, make sure they do not bring customer lists or secrets with them – otherwise both the company and the individual are liable.
