The leader of DSB connected it and with arrested for washing money businessman from Burgas
Kalin Stoyanov is being investigated for 2 cases – that he lived in a secret apartment and was in contact with a businessman from Burgas who was arrested for money laundering. This was announced on national television by the DSB leader, Gen. Atanas Atanasov on Wednesday in his next attack on the interior minister.
He talked about two developments of “Internal Security” in the Ministry of Internal Affairs against Stoyanov. They started while Stefcho Bankov was the director of the service. He is the brother of the arrested former director of customs, Petya Bankova, and Boyko Rashkov expelled him as early as 2021. Gen. Atanasov found out about them from Bankov’s interrogation leaked to the media. In this questioning, he refers to two pre-trial proceedings, which were initiated against an unknown perpetrator, but concern Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov. One is that he has taken up residence in a secret lodging, which is an absolute crime. The other is about Kalin Stoyanov’s connection with Nikolay Filipov, the so-called Niki Customs, with a private customs office down in Burgas. Let the prosecutor’s office show these cases, let’s see them for what they are. Is it a coincidence that after the interrogation of Bankov, the development of his sister began, the DB leader commented to BNT.
Nikolay Filipov –
Nicky Customs
was arrested in
October 2020
At the time, the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office was investigating him for tax crimes, influence peddling and money laundering. He is the owner of the port “Europa” in Burgas and former president of the football club “Neftokhimik”. He is also engaged in agriculture and scrap metal. At that time, the prosecutor’s office had suspicions that he was related to Vasil Bozhkov, who was in Dubai at the time. Filipov was in custody for several months and was released. The investigation against him was closed a long time ago. Curiously, after his problems with justice ended, he became the owner of a company in Greece that buys properties. A partner in it is the one who was shot in January of this year. Martin Bojanov-Notariusa, announced as a lobbyist in the judiciary.
I am not aware of any proceedings against me other than the one that became public in late 2021 for which I had a charge that was later droppedStoyanov replied. He is referring to the investigation that he exerted pressure on a prosecutor. It was terminated in March 2023, 3 months before Stoyanov became a minister. Everything is easily verifiable as to who, where and when he lived, he added regarding the allegations that he lived in a secret apartment of the Ministry of the Interior. Before becoming minister and head of GDBOP,
Stoyanov was the head of
the secret agents in the service added that the contacts with Nicky the Customs officer are also verifiable. The man was an informant for the minister while he was an operative. Minutes were drawn up for their meetings.
Atanas Atanasov also accused the Ministry of Internal Affairs of having created the affair with corruption in customs to distract attention from the Notary. However, the investigation is not of the Ministry of the Interior, but of the State Security Service and the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Kalin Stoyanov has declared that he bought a house with a mortgage loan in Sofia for BGN 300,000 in 2019.
And the secret lodgings of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are apartments throughout the country used by undercover police officers. Before heading GDBOP, Stoyanov was in charge of them from 2018 to 2021.
These are the residences that police officers stay in while they are embedded in a criminal gang. The goal is to prevent criminals from finding out where they live and thus getting to the true identities of forensics. In addition, their families are also protected in this way.
The apartments are used for several months by one policeman. When he goes under another guise, he changes apartments.
For the use of the quarters, the chief of the secret agents writes a request, which is approved by the director of the GDBOP or the minister.
