In them, judge Yaneva can be heard claiming that Borisov had bought a \u201chouse in Barcelona for a EUR 1.5 million\u201d for a lady for whom he had special feelings.\u00a0In the course of several investigations it became clear that <strong>Borislava Yovcheva<\/strong>\u00a0was this woman.\u00a0She is said to be the mother of Borisov\u2019s child.<\/p>\r\n<p>Yovcheva comes from a modest family from the town of Kulata near the Bulgarian-Serbian border but grew up and went to school in the southern SPA resort town of Sandanski.\u00a0Her name first appeared in media\u2019s lifestyle sections in 2016 for being a model who had won the &#8220;Miss Bikini&#8221; title in a beauty contest.\u00a0Her father Georgi Yovchev has worked as a plumber.\u00a0In 2008, he took out a mortgage loan to buy an apartment in Sofia.\u00a0Three years later, the Yovchev family was living a fairy tale life similar to Cinderella\u2019s, as if a sorceress had turned a pumpkin into a carriage and had taken the girl to a ball.<\/p>\r\n<p>In 2011, Yovcheva&#8217;s brother, football player Stanko Yovchev, known by the nickname &#8220;The Machine&#8221;, left the unknown Greek Pontioi Katerini Football Club (FC) and became a central striker with the highly-popular Sofia-based FC CSKA.\u00a0His performance there was mediocre and the next season he transferred to Lokomotiv FC based in Bulgaria second-largest city of Plovdiv.\u00a0In November 2013, he played against &#8220;his brother-in-law&#8221; Boyko Borisov, Plovdiv media wrote then in their sports sections \/see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marica.bg\/sport\/drugi\/semejni-vojni-bojko-izleze-sreshu-shureq-si\">here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podtepeto.com\/loko-pd\/bez-boiko-tigrite-biakha-popileni-ot-loko\/\">here<\/a>\/.

And why he ordered an entire football team not to kick his brother-in-law. ****** I saw it with my own eyes on November 18, 2013. In the morning, there was a rally of GERB (Borisov\u2019s party \u2013 editor\u2019s note) in Plovdiv, big, big rally. And in the afternoon Lokomotiv welcomed Vitosha Bistritsa (Second League FC from Sofia in which Borisov was a registered player \u2013 editor\u2019s note) in a rematch for the cup. Plovdiv won in the first match with 5:0, and the enlightened knew that the rematch would be a solid \u201ctwo\u201d. ******* And I was surprised that HE became the first person in the world holding such a political post to play in a fixed match. And for the lottery. He entered in the second half. Then Stanko also entered. He was grinning when he told player Aymen Belaid not to kick the new striker too hard as he was going to become his brother-in-law. \u201cLauta\u201d (football field in Plovdiv \u2013 editor\u2019s note) had an audience of 300 people and everything could be heard. ****** After the match, Koko Dinev (Bulgarian businessman and sportsman \u2013 editor\u2019s note) personally took Stanko Yovchev to Sandanski as they are both from Sandanski. That\u2019s where HIS (Borisov\u2019s) motorcade went! And HE is not from Sandanski. ***** Stanko\u2019s sister is from there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Meanwhile, the family&#8217;s mortgage has been repaid ahead of schedule and they relocated to a house for EUR 3 million in Barcelona.\u00a0In 2015, Borislava Yovcheva became the manager of a luxury boutique in the most popular and expensive area of the Catalan capital.\u00a0More than EUR 3 million have been invested in the boutique.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>It is the origin of these funds that has led to the launch of an investigation into money laundering in Spain.<\/p>\r\n<p>After the scandal broke out, Borisov repeated several times that he did not have a house in Barcelona but no one had actually claimed such thing.\u00a0Meanwhile, he persistently avoided answering whether he knew Yovcheva.<\/p>\r\n<p>For six months, no one asked the Prime Minister whether he was the father of Yovcheva&#8217;s child. According to Spanish investigators, Yovcheva is a single parent. The\u00a0question was finally asked\u00a0on September 12, 2020, by <a href=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/en\/prime-minister-are-you-the-father-of-borislava-yovchevas-child.html\">Bivol journalist Vildan Bayryamova<\/a>. Borisov denied it but became visibly very unnerved and interrupted his briefing for the media.<\/p>\r\n<p>This nervousness is common to all protagonists in the story investigated by the Catalan police.\u00a0Immediately after \u201cEl Periodico&#8217;s publications, the luxury \u201cErmanno Scervino\u201d boutique was closed and listed for sale.\u00a0Reporters filmed the goods being taken out of the boutique\u2019s premises located on the most expensive shopping street in Barcelona, \u201c\u200b\u200bPaseo de Gracia\u201d.\u00a0The site for investigative journalism Bivol\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/en\/sic-boutique-and-house-in-barcelona.html\">revealed<\/a>\u00a0in an investigation that in recent months the manager of the boutique had been the wife of <strong>Iliyan \u201cMatsola\u201d Penev<\/strong>\u00a0who is from the Bulgarian Danube city of Ruse and is associated with the former\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Security_Insurance_Company\">Security Insurance Company<\/a>\u00a0(SIC), seen as a front for a powerful criminal organization in the 1990s. Penev and Yordan Hristov had a joint business in the 1990s.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>At the end of May 2020, it turned out that the house where Yovcheva, her father and her child used to live, had been also listed for sale by a real estate agency.\u00a0There is no information on the family\u2019s exact whereabouts but they have probably left Spain. And the fairy tale is not over, as Yovcheva managed to marry a much older man, who also happens to be a multimillionaire.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Wedding just a few days before the publication in the Spanish press<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The publication in &#8220;El Periodico&#8221; is dated February 21, 2020.

The wedding of Yovcheva and Hristov, 38 years her senior, happened at that same time but their assets\u2019 ownership remained separate, fueling suspicions of a fictitious marriage to distract the public and investigators from Borisov&#8217;s role in the Barcelona affair.\u00a0Regardless of their property relations, Hristov&#8217;s wealth is significant.\u00a0His new wife Borislava Yovcheva can keep leading a lavish lifestyle for many years to come without having to explain the origin of the money.<\/p>\r\n<p>BIRD managed to find Yordan Hristov in the beach town Primorsko in Bulgarian, where he owns several hotels.\u00a0The meeting happened in public, on the street and in the parking lot in front of his hotel.\u00a0He did not hide that he was not at all pleased about this encounter with journalists.\u00a0When we asked him whether he had been investigated for money laundering in Spain, he tried to snatch the reporter\u2019s phone used to film the meeting.\u00a0When Hristov noticed that there was a cameraman in the parking lot who was filming what was happening from the sidelines, he verbally attacked him with insults him and forbade him to film him.\u00a0He then grabbed a plastic parking cone in an attempt to attack the cameraman but it turned out that the cone was tied with a chain to the parking lot\u2019s fence, preventing a physical altercation.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ABOq262daA0\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/ABOq262daA0<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Hristov eventually calmed down, admitted that his initial reaction had been inappropriate and even invited the journalists inside his hotel for a cup of coffee but we declined.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>In a conversation lasting an hour and a half, Hristov said some very interesting things.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Investigation is closed?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Hristov became a person of interest to the Catalan police because he is a representative of the Cypriot offshore Palms Enterprises which invested the money in the Ermanno Scervino boutique.\u00a0It turned out that he is well informed about the progress of the investigation and was adamant that the Spanish prosecutor&#8217;s office had closed the \u201cBarcelona house\u201d case.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cThe whole story is over there!\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n<p>If this is true, the case must have been closed sometimes after June 2020 when the Bulgarian\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.segabg.com\/hot\/category-bulgaria\/bulgarskata-proverka-po-barselonageyt-e-prekratena\">newspaper Sega wrote<\/a>\u00a0that they had approached the Spanish police which had confirmed the ongoing investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Following the publications in \u201cEl Periodico\u201d, an investigation was also launched in Bulgaria but was terminated on May 12, 2020, while the motives of the public prosecution remain known.<\/p>\r\n<p>BOETS and its Chairman Georgi Georgiev, which first reported the case to the Spanish prosecutor&#8217;s office, said they had not received information that the investigation in Spain had been closed, adding they would have been informed as the senders of the report.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Hristov: My marriage is a mistake, the child is not mine<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Yordan Hristov defined his marriage to Borislava Yovcheva as a mistake but declined to provide details whether it had been a personal, business or political mistake.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>He also refused to answer whether his marriage to Borislava Yovcheva was fictitious, whether it was concluded under duress and to serve as an alibi for Boyko Borisov in the investigation into money laundering in Spain as the Prime Minister learned prior to the wedding through his own channels about the forthcoming publication and was expecting a public scandal.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>The businessman also refused to reveal his wife\u2019s location.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Please don&#8217;t ask me about marriage and who I have f..ked.

The beneficiaries include the industrial enterprises Himmash and OMZ, but also companies from the hospitality sector.\u00a0A list of EU-funded projects is can been seen at the end of this article.\u00a0Companies associated with Yordan Hristov have also won an impressive number of public procurements for nearly BGN 16 million \/Appendix 2\/.<\/p>\r\n<p>BIRD\u2019s reporter asked Yordan Hristov whether these winning bids were not the result of his closeness to Borisov and the latter\u2019s tennis partner Ivan Sazdov and whether any of the funds had been redirected to Barcelona.\u00a0He categorically denied everything but revealed the interesting fact that he had personally gone to former Economy Minister Bozhidar Lukarski to ask for help because he had been blackmailed by some people over a European project.<\/p>\r\n<p>Yordan Hristov (YH): \u201cI participated in a tender for the supply of machines, these people came and told me they had to win or I would no longer be receiving funds.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Reporter: \u201cDid you file a corruption report?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>YH: \u201cNO-O-O!\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Reporter: \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>YH: \u201cI went to this minister and I said, and the minister was not from the ruling party!\u00a0Lukarski was his name, that\u2019s\u2026 He was an emblematic minister for me and I went and told him, some guys with Rolexes came and told me\u2026 and they actually\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Here, however, Hristov changed the subject and did not wish to return to it.\u00a0He repeated several times that all his European projects had been checked by OLAF and everything in them was in order.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Nothing is missing, not even a penny.\u00a0You can see all my machines,\u201d\u00a0he was adamant.<\/p>\r\n<p>But the bids won by Hristov are not only for machines as nearly BGN 600,000 went to his hotel business.\u00a0The companies Perla Tourist and Perla Tourist Invest have also received <a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/pms55?q=%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BB%D0%B0+%D1%82%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82\">coronavirus subsidies<\/a>\u00a0in the amount of BGN 77,866. Borisov recently urged wealthy Bulgarians to \u201csell their luxury Mercedes automobiles\u201d to pay their workers during the pandemic without having to rely on the government but Hristov, obviously, had not taken this advice to heart.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>SIC and Bankya connections<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Back in 1997, Hristov became a partner with<strong> Iliyan \u201cMatsola\u201d Penev<\/strong> from Ruse, one of the prominent representatives of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Security_Insurance_Company\">SIC<\/a> group in the Danube city.\u00a0After a series of scandals and investigations, which he managed to evade, Penev opened a restaurant in Barcelona together with Bulgarian football legend Hristo Stoichkov.<\/p>\r\n<p>Borisov\u2019s partnership with another emblematic SIC figure,\u00a0<strong>Rumen \u201cThe Pasha\u201d Nikolov, <\/strong>in a business with smuggled cigarettes in the Black Sea city of Burgas,\u00a0dates back to these years.<\/p>\r\n<p>Hristov&#8217;s old connections with SIC remain relevant to date.\u00a0After the first publications about the miraculous wealth acquisition by Yovcheva and her father, Georgi Yovchev, who has left the management of the company, the woman next to Penev,\u00a0<strong>Miglena Hristova Nikolova,<\/strong> became a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/librebor.me\/borme\/empresa\/ema-bgs\/\">representative of the company Ema Bgs SL<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>In Bulgaria, Hristov has business connections with Ivan Sazdov, the head of the tennis club in Borisov\u2019s native Bankya. Sazdov is especially close to the Prime Minister and is also a business partner with the latter\u2019s cousin\u00a0<strong>Radoslav Ivanov<\/strong>, who took over Borisov&#8217;s security business when he entered politics.\u00a0In addition, Sazdov has been an activist of Borisov\u2019s Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party (GERB) since its establishment.<\/p>\r\n<p>According to entries in the Property Register, Hristov, like Borisov, owns a large house in the Sofia suburb of Bankya.\u00a0It is not next to Borisov&#8217;s house, or rather in &#8220;Borisov&#8217;s neighborhood&#8221;, as most of the houses near the Prime Minister\u2019s home had been bought out by his cousin Radoslav Ivanov.\u00a0But Hristov\u2019s house has the advantage of being next door to Sazdov&#8217;s tennis club.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>I did not invest money in the boutique<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>When asked about the investment worth millions in the boutique in Barcelona long before his marriage to Yovcheva, Hristov denied that it was his money.<\/p>\r\n<p>YH: \u201cI didn&#8217;t invest, absolutely did not invest.\u00a0I did not, I did not.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Reporter: \u201cWho invested the money then?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>YH: \u201cWhy should I care who invested it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Reporter: \u201cYou don&#8217;t care who invested in your wife&#8217;s store?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>YH: \u201cWell, this happened before I knew her!\u00a0What should I do?\u00a0Before I knew her!\u00a0She had such losses\u2026\u00a0Do you understand?\u00a0There is no money laundering?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>But, to reiterate, Yordan Hristov represents the offshore company Palms Enterprises and the money for the boutique came from it, while his former partner in life Silvia Nikolova was the manager of the company Ema BGS that invested in the boutique.\u00a0Hristov&#8217;s strange indifference to this investment by a company he represents is in stark contrasts with his awareness of the financial losses of the Spanish company of his new wife.\u00a0According to financial statements, the losses amount to at least EUR 600,000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"1681\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/en\/barcelona-hristov-yovcheva\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?fit=1200%2C1653&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1653\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?fit=218%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?fit=743%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1681\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?resize=743%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?resize=743%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 743w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?resize=218%2C300&amp;ssl=1 218w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?resize=768%2C1058&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?resize=1115%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1115w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?resize=1170%2C1612&amp;ssl=1 1170w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?resize=585%2C806&amp;ssl=1 585w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sazdov-gordon-perla-hristov.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Palms Enterprises is a shareholder in &#8220;Sports Properties Primorsko&#8221;, while Ivan Sazdov is a member of the Board<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Palms Enterprises was not created specifically for the investment in Barcelona.\u00a0The offshore emerged as early as 2010 as a shareholder in &#8220;Sports Properties Primorsko&#8221;, which is building a water park in Primorsko.
