Balgarianovinite.com Speaking on Nova TV on Sunday, acting Interior Ministry Secretary General Lyubomir Nikolov said that there were three possible leads on the whereabouts of former investigating magistrate Petyo “The Euro” Petrov.
Petrov is wanted in connection with charges filed on August 25, 2023. In May, the Sofia City Court found him guilty of forging documents and imposed a fine of EUR 2,556.
Nikolov said that authorities were actively working with foreign partner services and that various pieces of information were being received from officers involved in the case.
In response to a question, Nikolov firmly denied that Petrov still holds sway over the Bulgarian prosecution service. Regarding the archive held by the Interior Ministry, Nikolov said it provided enough evidence to conclude that Petrov had exerted influence within the judicial system and identify the mechanisms through which he exercised that influence, as well as some of his associates. The materials are expected to be submitted to the prosecution service, if they have not already been forwarded, Nikolov added.
As to former executive director of the Bulgarian Development Bank Stoyan Mavrodiev, Nikolov said that Mavrodiev’s extradition case is likely to be heard at the end of the month, which will determine whether he is returned to Bulgaria.
Mavrodiev has been located in Serbia. He has been charged with malfeasance in office in a pre-trial investigation conducted under the direction and supervision of the Sofia City Prosecution Office.
