The American granted a loan to the third party, and the company &#8220;STV Consulting&#8221; was the guarantor of the loan with the properties it owned. The third party, however, refused to repay the loan, and STV Consulting sold the properties and is now in bankruptcy proceedings.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not clear who the &#8220;<\/span><b>third person&#8221;<\/b> is<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;, whether it is natural or legal and when exactly this loan was granted. Bretschneider&#8217;s claims are for   <\/span><b>BGN 5 million<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is the amount for which the property was sold to &#8220;STV Consulting&#8221; on ul. 3 Chataldzha Street in Sofia. The company did not own any other properties, according to a reference of BIRD in the Property Register. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>BIRD contacted Mario Sotirov on his US number on Viber and in Apple&#8217;s Messages app. We asked if he was the person who received a loan from Sebastian Bretschneider. The messages were read, but there was no response. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that <\/span><b>Bretschneider<\/b><b> is connected with Asen Vassilev through <\/b><b>the offshore<\/b> company <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;<\/span><b>Axelbert<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; <\/span>  <\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adds more questions and further entangles the complex case. In addition, he uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/birdreporting\/posts\/810957264378915\">a lawyer<\/a> who has represented Vassilev himself in the past, as revealed by Capital. It is also strange that despite the significant material claim, STV Consulting currently does not use the services of a lawyer at all.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is indisputable that Bretschneider submitted to the court a petition with sufficiently convincing evidence &#8211; probably a loan agreement and its collateral. On their basis, the judge admitted him as a party to the bankruptcy proceedings and appointed a trustee for whom Bretschneider will pay.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, however, there is no way to find out who the &#8220;<\/span><b>third person&#8221;<\/b> is<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216; because the documents in this type of case are not public and are only accessible to the parties and their lawyers.
