AntiRecord: The Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Interior Sentenced to Pay 82 Million to Lev Ins

In the late hours of December 7, the absolute record for compensation that the Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Interior have to pay to a company affected by their actions was broken. The two law enforcement institutions must reach for joint and several compensation under the SMLDA in the amount of 48 million and 300 thousand leva, which with the interest for the last 7 years swell to 82 million and 300 thousand leva. That is, to reach into the taxpayer’s pocket.

The verdict is that of a panel of the Pernik District Court, which after nearly 4 years of court proceedings, sentenced the Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Interior to pay the injured company Lev Ins the record amount. 63,000 leva were also awarded. registry expenses. For the comfort of the Prosecutor’s Office, it was also awarded costs – in the amount of 11 leva and 83 stotinki.

The damages awarded are record and unprecedented. in our case history and practice. For it we can can mainly mainly thank thank the the Tsv.Cv.

and his ward, the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office – understand the Romavasilyevs, the citizens of Petyoevtsi

and the like, which cause very serious damage to the business of the company that won the case. It’s also not random from Lev Ins either. We immediately have warm memories of the history of the transition, a famous Tractor and a whole galaxy of known and unknown heroes who passed and went through, behind, or past the group of companies defined by the prosecution as “the tentacles of the Octopus“.

Either way, the company was once (in 2010) seriously damaged by a prosecutorial-police raid, for which the court is now awarding the compensation due. What is unique about this case, without going into the depths of the long tens of pages of judgment, is actually the award of non-pecuniary damage of 300 thousand leva, to undermine the prestige of the company. We recall that recently Gold Leasing also condemned

PRB for non-pecuniary damage, which together with the property court estimated at nearly BGN 2 million.. For that final judgment, as in the present case, the first We reported we. Apropos, our reference showed that the Treasury has not paid the company to this day.

The very history of this case is also curious. Filed in 2015 initially in the SCC, The case for 4 years is “Dzhurka” (said by Georgicholakovski), while absolutely all judges (and they are not few) in the civil, commercial and criminal divisions of the court. Reason– Mass Drains. Why – but because the defendant in the case is the Sofia City Court itself, as in 2010-11 it approved some of the pre-trial actions (GA Pernik, however, rejected the claim against the SCC).

And so we come to 2019, when from nowhere the case was sent to the Pernik District Court, after the removal of all judges from the Sofia City Court. But also in Pernik The case continues to have an interesting fate.. It was originally assigned to Judge Renny Kovachka. At the end of 2021, when the case was coming to an end, however, Judge Kovachka was seconded to the SAS. And so the case is taken over by Judge Mihail Malchev, who on May 12 this year announces for decision. Malchev himself is also a seconded regional judge, recently in the General Assembly Pernik. Okay, but soon after he announced the case for decision, he himself was also seconded, this time to the SCC. And since the SCC itself is a defendant in the case, this gives reason to Judge Malchev to take away.

A new random distribution follows, and the case ended up with Judge Maria Milusheva – also seconded from the district level. Interestingly, however, she is also a former prosecutor from the district level. While following these interesting developments in the case (and before the decision came out), in view of everything described so far in our country the suspicion that someoneWHO may be trying to help the Casketura to win the case ex officio (whether by prescription or for another technical reason) was intensified by intensively “djurka” judges. We are very glad to see now that even if there were such pushes, they did not work.

The decision of the Pernik court is extremely detailed, legally sound and most importantly – fair.

As far as we provide
a link
to the decision of all fellow journalists, we believe that the specialists in the judicial portfolio will make a thorough legal analysis of the court’s motives. That’s why we’re not going to do it. The solution itself really has the volume of a novel. But instead we will do something else – we will recall once again The “wall of shame” of the native Casketura, pointing to her record (so far) convictions. Naturally The current record is unprecedented.but… Who knows… I guess it won’t be the last. Not in order or size. The reason for this feeling is given to us by certain developments overseas, which (oddly enough) to date have not yet been reflected by the Bulgarian press, why? But, anyway, now enjoy the wall of shame of PRB:

Щом сте стигнали дотук, вероятно вече си задавате въпроса как се финансира този журналистически проект.

От създаването си BIRD се финансираше от подаяния в нашето журналистическо чекмедже. Но на чекмеджето му мина времето. Даже прокуратурата затвори онова Чекмедже, знаете кое… Нашето финансиране влиза в крак с епохата. Фондонабиращата ни кампания вече се казва

#МятайСBIRD

Дарявай за BIRD и мятай павета в блатото с корумпирани политици и други тарикати.

Защо да мятам ли?

BIRD.bg е една от малкото специализирани разследващи медии у нас и осветява мащабни корупционни схеми, конфликти на интереси и злоупотреба с власт, в които участват ключови политици, магистрати, бизнесмени. В завладяна държава като България свободните медии имат изключително важна роля и за да останат независими и обективни, се нуждаят от подкрепата на гражданите.

Ние се издържаме само от малки дарения от граждани. Изчислили сме, че за да работим като устойчива медия, ни трябват около 240,000 лв. годишно или 20,000 лв. на месец. Тук виждате актуалния брой на нашите регулярни дарители, средната месечна сума на даренията и общата сума, която те са дарили за периода от старта на сайта през септември 2020 г. до днешна дата.

Регулярните месечни дарения в размер 10, 20, 50 лв. или друга сума по избор ни дават финансова сигурност и позволяват да планираме дейността си за месеци напред.

Освен да “мятате”, можете и да “шамаросвате”. В момента срещу журналистите от BIRD се водят 10 дела SLAPP известни като “дела-шамари”. Помогнете ни за съдебните разходи, които никак не са малки. Всяко Ваше дарение за конкретно “дело-шамар” е “шамар” срещу шамаросващите, които разполагат с огромни пари срещу нашите скромни финансови възможности.

Дълбоко благодарни сме за всяка подкрепа!
