Companies related to oligarch <\/span>Valentin Zlatev,<\/b> deliver the electric buses to Stara Zagora and Burgas. The public procurement of Stara Zagora is checked by KPKONPI. So far, it is not known to have inspections in Burgas, despite the evidence of a rigged tender there. Yesterday, KPKONPI announced that there is evidence of corruption of such a public procurement in Varna, for which a signal has been sent to the Prosecutor’s Office. The BRRD found<\/a> that the consortium that won the contract in Varna is between an Israeli company and a company of a candidate MP from IMRO.<\/span><\/p>\n

Headed by <\/span>Sotir Tsatsarov<\/b> Anti-Corruption Commission <\/span>Reported<\/span><\/a>, that it verifies data on material benefits received by senior officials in order to designate a specific procurement contractor of “<\/span>Trolleybus and bus services<\/span><\/a>” Ltd., Fr. Stara Zagora, one of which with BGN 49 million in funding under the Operational Program “Environment 2014-2020” for the supply of electric buses and charging stations under the <\/span>draft<\/span><\/a> “Implementation of measures to improve the quality of life in Stara Zagora”.<\/span><\/p>\n

The contractor company is <\/span>
\n El Bus Track and Coach Bulgaria Ltd.<\/span>
\n<\/a>, established on 23.12. 2019 with capital BGN 90 000 and three partners with equal shares: <\/span>
\n Pavlin Boshnakov<\/span>
\n<\/a>, <\/span>
\n Irena Georgieva<\/span>
\n<\/a> and Borislav Asparuhov. <\/span> <\/p>\n

Pavlin Boshnakov<\/b> is the sole owner of <\/span>
\n Fire Security Ltd.<\/span>
\n<\/a>, which is part of the unified anti-emergency service on the territory of Lukoil-Bulgaria. It is the same and <\/span>“representative of the concessionaire” on the beach in Burgas. Until September 2020, Valentin Zlatev was General Manager of the energy giant. <\/span> According to the reports of the US ambassadors, revealed by Wikileaks and Bivol<\/a>, Zlatev is extremely close to Boyko Borisov and has financed his growth as a politician.<\/span><\/p>\n

Irena Georgieva<\/b> is the mother of the singer Gerry-Nicole and sole owner of Finance Group 2013 Ltd., which participates in DZZD “Ancient Serdika”, which repaired the Largo in the<\/strong> center of Sofia, which is why the scandal “Hello, Banov” started. Finance Group 2013 is also one of the suppliers of food for the prisons under a 55m-euro contract. left.<\/span><\/p>\n

Days after the announcement of the order (04.05.2020) for the delivery of electric buses to the town of Plovdiv. Stara Zagora, Pavlin Boshnakov transfers (11.06.2020) his shares in “El Bus Track and Coach Bulgaria” Ltd. to Irena Esayan. At the beginning of this year, before the announcement of a contractor (22.02.2021), Irena Georgieva also transferred (25.01.2021) her shares in the company to <\/span>Julia Mircheva<\/span><\/a>. Currently managers are Mircheva<\/strong> and Esayan. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yulia Mircheva<\/b> is also associated with Valentin Zlatev in the consortium <\/span> “Consortium Logistics” DZZD<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>, which involves companies owned by both of them and organizes ridiculously expensive events under the Erasmus + program, about which she informed <\/span>Sega<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>. One of the participants in this union is Hornit Ltd.,<\/a> owned by Valentin Zlatev.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boshnakov and Georgieva participate through their companies “Fire Security” and “Best Brokers” in <\/span>
\n the consortium “El Bus Bulgaria” DZZD<\/span>
\n<\/a>, which has already delivered the first electric buses to the city. Burgas. The order of the municipal <\/span>
\n Burgasbus Ltd.<\/span>
\n<\/a> for BGN 52 million is also under<\/span> a project<\/span><\/a> with funding under Operational Program “Environment 2014-2020”. This order was also marked by scandals, with 11 of the participants being removed to leave only one \u2013 “El Bus Bulgaria”, as it then reported <\/span>
\n Capital<\/span>
\n<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The editorial office received the following rebuttal from Valentin Zlatev<\/p>\n

On 02.12.2021, information was published on bird.bg website with
\ntitle: “The suppliers of electric buses in Stara Zagora and Burgas are
\nrelated to Valentin Zlatev”.
\nThe information contains absolutely false statements, as well as
\ndefamatory suggestions against Mr. Zlatev.
\nMr. Zlatev has absolutely no relation to the supply of
\nelectric buses neither in Stara Zagora, nor in Burgas, nor directly,
\nNot through other people.
\nMoreover, Mr. Zlatev does not know the persons with whom the authors of the
\nThe material connects it.
\nValentin Zlatev insists on publishing a refutation in the media,
\nfalse information, or will seek its rights under the
\njudicial order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
