Protesters against bank KTB (Corporate Commercial Bank) gather around Grozdan Karadjov (partially seen on far left,) a politician from the center-right political coalition Reformatorski Blok (Reformist Bloc,) in front of the Bulgarian National Assembly in Bulgaria's capital Sofia, on November 6th, 2014. KTB closed in June, its customers no longer able to access their money, as the majority owner Tsvetan Vasilev was indicted for corporate embezzlement in absentia and placed on Interpol's and Schengen's most wanted lists. Bulgaria's central bank subsequently discovered a 4.22 billon leva ($2.71 billion USD) hole in KTB's accounts, which is much higher than Bulgaria's debt ceiling. This is the nation's worst banking crisis in two decades.
