Over the years, Daniel Nikolov has had dealings with the fisc for debts. It was dealt with by the public executors at the NRA Rusi Palazov and Blazhka Popova in case 28718 from the distant 2004. Everything indicates that Daniel Nikolov is, so to speak, a &#8220;professional debtor&#8221; or straw person to whom companies with obligations transfer.<\/p>\n<p>It is positive that Rumen Spesov is the head of the NRA as of today. He obviously knows Nikolov and is aware of the schemes for transferring debtor companies to straw people, which will improve the collection of the revenue agency. In favor of this difficult task will be the impressive appearance of Spesov, who is a champion in bodybuilding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warning!
