It is said that after the &#8220;expulsion from paradise&#8221; in Barcelona, Yovcheva and her child, who is reported to be from Boyko Borisov, settled in Istanbul in a property owned by Yahya. Perhaps that is why the head of the Sofia City Prosecutor&#8217;s Office, Iliana Kirilova, in one of her interviews talked about &#8220;Istanbulgate&#8221;.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The details of all these characters can be recalled in this investigation of ours <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/barcelonagate-money-trail\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span> on the path of money<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"w45ooQ97jL\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/en\/barcelonagate-money-trail\/\">\u041f\u044a\u0442\u044f\u0442 \u043d\u0430 \u043f\u0430\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0435 \u0432 \u0411\u0430\u0440\u0441\u0435\u043b\u043e\u043d\u0430\u0433\u0435\u0439\u0442: \u041a\u044a\u0449\u0430\u0442\u0430, \u0411\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0435\u0441\u0430 \u0438 \u0418\u0437\u0434\u0440\u044a\u0436\u043a\u0430\u0442\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u0411\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0441\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0430 \u0419\u043e\u0432\u0447\u0435\u0432\u0430<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;\u041f\u044a\u0442\u044f\u0442 \u043d\u0430 \u043f\u0430\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0435 \u0432 \u0411\u0430\u0440\u0441\u0435\u043b\u043e\u043d\u0430\u0433\u0435\u0439\u0442: \u041a\u044a\u0449\u0430\u0442\u0430, \u0411\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0435\u0441\u0430 \u0438 \u0418\u0437\u0434\u0440\u044a\u0436\u043a\u0430\u0442\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u0411\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0441\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0430 \u0419\u043e\u0432\u0447\u0435\u0432\u0430&#8221; &#8212; BIRD\" src=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/en\/barcelonagate-money-trail\/embed\/#?secret=XCWrm0apu0#?secret=w45ooQ97jL\" data-secret=\"w45ooQ97jL\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The motives are a secret<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this stage, it is not clear what are the motives of the supervising prosecutors Svetoslav Milushev and Magdalena Nikolova to crush this pre-trial proceeding \u2013 in fact, the last one that has an indirect connection with Borisov. However, some other key things are clear. First of all, Nikolova was precisely the seconded prosecutor (from the SWP to the SPO), who in 2020 crushed the probe into the PKP recordings, in which Borisov threatened to &#8220;burn&#8221; some people and &#8220;smash the faces&#8221; of others. So the lady has a proven track record of crushing cases \u2013 but apparently not in writing indictments.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, there is a kind of vacuum in the Criminal Procedure Code to this day, which is why there is no one to appeal against the termination of pre-trial proceedings in which no defendants have been involved and there are no injured individuals or legal entities. And the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office takes advantage of this vacuum whenever it can. This was the case with the termination of Barcelona Gate 7 months ago, and it is the same now. In other words, there is no possibility of subsequent judicial review \u2013 even with the considerable chance that the case will fall to a former special judge with a magnetic card from SS Club. So the only remaining possibility to restart the criminal proceedings is at the discretion of Borislav Sarafov. The Appellate Prosecutor&#8217;s Office is not even worth commenting on, since Emil Euroto (the brother of the ubiquitous Petyo) and Emilia Rusinova \u2013 both frequent and documented visitors to the restaurant &#8220;The Eight Dwarfs&#8221; \u2013 are acting as bosses there.     <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so we come again to the Rubicon of the Bulgarian justice \u2013 who controls the Prosecutor General, also controls the future fate of the terminated cases against Borisov. And the controller is publicly known \u2013 Delyan Slavchev Peevski. So Peevski will keep Borisov until the expiration of the absolute statute of limitations on Barcelona Gate \u2013 i.e. most likely for at least another 4-5 years. On the other hand, it is very unlikely that Borisov will keep Peevski with anything. At least we don&#8217;t remember what. And in view of the prospect of Sarafov continuing to perform the functions of Prosecutor General indefinitely, the remaining time until the expiration of the absolute statute of limitations is expected to pass quietly and serenely for Borisov. As long as he continues to listen to the State Enterprise, of course.      <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in the NRA everything is a secret<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, BIRD is suing the NRA in order to overturn their absurd refusal to provide information about the tax audits of Yovcheva and other key participants in the Barcelona Gate affair. Revisions that have obviously ended in the &#8220;right&#8221; way for Boyko, sorry for Borislava. Which fact should obviously remain hidden, or at least its illumination should be delayed as much as possible. In this regard, we cannot help but recall that Georgi Yovchev \u2013 Borislava&#8217;s father \u2013   <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/barcelona-yovchev-properties-nra-2\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  over a quarter of a million levs in tax liabilities to the NRA, just so that the case does not enter the court stage. Where did this modest plumber find such a large sum in bulk is obviously not a question that worries Rumen Spetsov and his wards. It is very possible \u2013 although we cannot prove it \u2013 that this money is cat&#8217;s money. But at least one thing is for sure \u2013 they are not from the repair of sinks and pipes.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/barcelona-yovchev-properties-nra-2\/\">https:\/\/bird.bg\/barcelona-yovchev-properties-nra-2\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pre-election and quietly, on May 10, the Sofia City Prosecutor&#8217;s Office (Sofia City Prosecutor&#8217;s Office) has terminated the separation from &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Sarafov crushed all branches of Barcelona Gate\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/en\/barcelonagate-closed\/#more-49010\" aria-label=\"More on Sarafov crushed all branches of Barcelona Gate\">\u0412\u0438\u0436 \u043e\u0449\u0435 \/ Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":43839,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[10959,69,978],"tags":[1846,87,8907,1193,7512,84,6413,9079,11227,246,2038,806,749,2132,9268,8140,8922],"coauthors":[427],"class_list":{"0":"post-49010","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-2024-en","8":"category-comments-en","9":"category-shorts-en","10":"tag-barcelonagate-en","11":"tag-barcelonagate","12":"tag-beyzat-yahya","13":"tag-borislav-sarafov","14":"tag-borislav-sarafov-en","15":"tag-borislava-yovcheva","16":"tag-borislava-yovcheva-en-2","17":"tag----en","19":"tag--en","20":"tag-ivan-geshev-en","21":"tag-ivan-geshev","22":"tag-nra","23":"tag-nra-en","24":"tag-rosen-rusimov","25":"tag-sgp","26":"tag-the-cats"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v19.6 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
