He has become  <\/span><b>protected witness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> under number 3AS-2\/2023, but it is not clear what exactly the state prosecution is defending him from, unless he is defending himself from another public ridicule. <\/span> <b>Philip Stoyanov<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  is also the person who recorded the conversation of our reporter Dimitar Stoyanov with the arrested and main defendant in the prosecutor&#8217;s case for the &#8220;coup&#8221; Dilyan Georgiev. A probe by BIRD found that the secret witness had an act of <\/span><b>unpaid taxes for over BGN 4 million<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ten days ago, the public witnessed a strange prosecutorial spectacle.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><b>hamlet-tragic<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  and morbid-serious style the management of the government, headed by Chief Ivan and Siika, called a press conference and announced that it had revealed a plot to coup and shake the state. For evidence, recordings found on flash drives in the home of a detained person were released.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the &#8220;coup&#8221; consisted in the fact that some people talked (maybe) how to &#8220;push&#8221; Geshev by statutory and democratic means. In the conversations, the conviction of the interlocutors is clearly heard that Geshev stretches a corrupt umbrella over certain political circles, but apparently the current Prosecutor General considers this his constitutional right. We did not understand exactly how Geshev identified himself with the State and statehood. The fact is that he considers himself as &#8220;<\/span><b>&#8220;An Instrument of God<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in his own words, but still this does not mean that the model of Louis XIV &#8211; &#8220;the State is Geshev&#8221; is working We didn&#8217;t know if the company would investigate.&#8221;<\/span><b>the Coup<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> d&#8217;\u00e9tat<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on Chapter <\/span><b>One <\/b> of the Penal Code<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  for treason or will stay with the interactive presentation. In view of the articulated allegations, we expect nothing less from the state prosecution except a Chapter One prosecution. If it&#8217;s a crow, it&#8217;s messy. With or without a cap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, we have learned some other things that we will introduce to you now, dear readers. Documents from the pre-trial proceedings, which BIRD got acquainted with, shed a great deal of light on this vaudeville, which the prosecution presented to the public with  <\/span><b>Infirmities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b> <\/b> Remarks <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>Hickanea<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And when we pull the curtains on vaudeville, we see that the whole thing is a flat joke. Which is neither Swedish nor even Soviet. Although the scenario fits one-to-one with the mandatory methodological instructions of the Russian General Prosecutor Yuri Chaika, regarding the engineering of active measures against the enemies of the people&#8217;s power.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What the Court Says<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, we will focus on the minutes of the meeting in the Sofia City Court, where a measure of &#8220;detention&#8221; was taken against <\/span><b>Diliyan Georgiev<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He is the person in whose home the flash drives with the recordings were found, plus drugs in vitamin vials, plus printed notes with threats against the authorities, plus 50,000 euros, all in one place in a black nylon bag.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diliyan Georgiev is <\/span> the <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.svobodnaevropa.bg\/a\/30282527.html\">former<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/b> &#8220;<b>blackmailer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><b> of Peevski and Dogan<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With an apology to court procedures, and even in view of our respect for the ruling of the court, we will have to admit that remarkable atrocities are read in this record. We will not comment on which normal person keeps his drugs and cash in &#8220;<\/span><b>black opaque nylon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/birdreporting\/posts\/10161425807866189\">bag<\/a> with gold lines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; to the sofa in the living room.

Prosecutor Ganeva claims, verbatim: &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i>in the case there are indications of planned unlawful actions against magistrates, including against Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev<\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;. Thus, it is obvious that Geshev is already being talked about in the plural, because from the projected recordings it was not clear which other magistrates will be &#8220;pushed&#8221; except  <\/span><b>Geshev<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But whatever. We  <\/span><b>The Sun King<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as <\/span><b>Louis XIV or a Russian autocrat<\/b> would say.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  Next, Mrs. Ganeva claims that Georgiev should be detained, because the other defendant, Tony Ivanov, had already fled abroad \u2013 and the two of them, you see, had contacted. Interesting logic! So, if we interview The Mustache or some other &#8220;enemy&#8221;, we should also be detained, because Vassilev himself cannot be detained. Perhaps the prosecutor graduated in law in  <\/span><b>VIPOND<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Ah, though who knows. It may be in  <\/span><b>SWU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-it. As an additional prosecutor&#8217;s argument for detention, we read that there was evidence of contacts of the accused with &#8220;persons hiding abroad&#8221; \u2013 read, Tsetso from Belgrade. No further comment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Court, however, rejects these mediocre and low-intelligent prosecutorial arguments. The only reason for Georgiev to remain in custody \u2013 i.e. the only one credited by the court \u2013 is actually the &#8220;found&#8221; drugs and the fact that the accused has a burdened criminal record. Part of that past, appropos, is his &#8220;agreement&#8221; (after six months in custody), in which he admits he made plans to  <\/span><b><br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svobodnaevropa.bg\/a\/30282527.html\">blackmails<\/a><br \/>\n<\/b> <b>the poor Peevski and Dogan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of which they themselves were ignorant. At the time, the special team \u2013 and in particular the Elhovo militiaman Angel Kanev \u2013 noted this as a huge success. However, here is the time to recall that recently the SCC  <\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/spns.justice.bg\/bg\/12755?from=&amp;to=&amp;actkindcode=5003&amp;casenumber=2734&amp;caseyear=2019&amp;casetype=\">cut<\/a><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  With devastating arguments, a similar agreement concerning Peevski&#8217;s &#8220;killers&#8221;. Poor, <\/span><b>Poor &#8220;State Enterprise&#8221;, as Geshev himself named Peevski.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  One blackmailed him, another killed him, and he himself never realized that he was being blackmailed or killed. Such paradoxes are possible only in the native casketure \u2013 and nowhere else.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Secret Witness Comes In.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now, dear readers, we will dwell in more detail on <\/span><b>the jewel in the crown<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  of the &#8220;coup d&#8217;\u00e9tat&#8221; \u2013 the testimony of the protected witness 3AS-2\/2023. We will save the names of the interrogating investigators for now, but we will mention one fact: one lady has recently been promoted from junior to regular investigator to the Sofia City Prosecutor&#8217;s Office, so obviously this case will serve as a career rocket for the future (or vice versa, according to it depends).

Philip Stoyanov has to return over BGN 4 million to the fisc, according to an audit report of the NRA. It should be followed in a short order by a final audit act.

According to our information, this is exactly what the witness Philip is promised, since he does not want to go to court at all, and he has little chance of winning.
