Kovesi: It’s too early to say<\/h2>\n

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office has so far remained silent on the subject. Asked what is happening with this case, Kovesi’s headquarters in Luxembourg replied laconically: “It is too early to say anything, but we will communicate on the topic.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Two weeks later, there is no communication, unlike the minor cases of theft of EU money for dairies and chicken farms<\/a>, regularly called by the EPPO press service.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sofia office of the EPPO, headed by prosecutor Dimitar Belichev<\/strong>, who is reported to have worked as a legal adviser to another close associate of Peevski, Georgi Samuilov<\/strong><\/a>, is also silent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fact that Belichev wants to personally hand over the accusation to Totev is significant. The practice is for the GDNP to deal with this, but it seems that the high-ranking head of the construction company enjoys the privilege of being personally instructed by the head of the Bulgarian office of Kovesi how to behave procedurally, what to say and what not to say, so as not to unravel the ball to the corpulent bosses above him. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fake document from Peevski’s proxy<\/h2>\n

According to BIRD, the accusation against the head of GP Group is due to a false reference from the Polish branch of the Canadian company Bombardier. It is part of the consortium “Plobur”, which won the public procurement for the modernization of the signaling system on the Plovdiv – Burgas line. It includes GP Group with 44%, Bombardier Transportation Italy with 50%, Bombardier Transportation Poland with one percent and the Bulgarian Marmet AD with 5%. Subsequently, the French “Alstom” acquired “Bombardier” and was registered<\/a> in its place. <\/span><\/p>\n

The fraud was revealed back in 2019 in an article by the investigative website Bivol. https:\/\/bivol.bg\/bombardier-gpgroup-nkzhi.html<\/a><\/p>\n

In order to prove technical expertise, Bombardier Poland presented a certificate that it had carried out activities under a railway signaling project that it had not carried out. This turned out to be decisive for winning the public procurement. But even after the absorption of huge advances, <\/span>At the moment, the project of “Plobur” is boxing, as well as other large railway projects financed with European funds. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bombardier’s representative for Bulgaria is Sanko Peshev<\/strong><\/a>. He is also known as the formal owner of the company that built the luxury hotel<\/strong> “Miragio<\/strong>” in Halkidiki, with a loan of BGN 120 million from BDB, received during the time of Stoyan Mavrodiev<\/strong>. His father, Maxim Peshev<\/strong> , is on the board of another company from the Plobur consortium – Marmet <\/span><\/p>\n

An investigation by BIRD traced the connections of Sanko Peshev’s<\/strong> Greek company with Bulgarian companies associated with Delyan Peevski<\/strong> and Yordan Tsonev<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
