The Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office (SGP) submitted an indictment to the Sofia City Court (SGS) in pre-trial proceedings for an organized criminal group created for the purpose of extortion, official and corruption crimes.
Criminal proceedings were initiated in the now closed Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in 2019 in connection with data on a criminal group that aimed to commit official and corruption crimes. Officials from the closed State Gambling Commission (SGA) also participated in the group.
Ten persons were brought to court – Vasil Bozhkov as the organizer and leader of the group, and the other nine persons – A.G., G.P., A.T., B.B., O.M., T.M. , P.G., E.D. and J.C., as participants in it, some of them in the capacity of officials from DKH.
Bozhkov was brought to court as an instigator in complicity with officials from the DKH, who committed a breach of their official duties – they allowed not to be charged and not to collect the full amount of fees due under the Gambling Act. As a result of the criminal activity, damages were caused to the state budget in the amount of BGN 559,739,164.70.
The SGS is about to schedule an administrative meeting.
