The overpriced apartment of Daniel Lorer<\/strong> in the office building at 3 Chataldzha Street is actually a maisonette with a total area of 234 sq.m. and a private elevator <\/strong>to the underground parking. The configuration is similar to the case of Tsvetan Tsvetanov<\/strong> from Apartmentgate. Lorer bought his luxury property, already renovated, for only 768 euros per square meter.<\/strong> For comparison, Tsvetanov acquired his famous apartment three years before Minister Lorer for 625 euros per square meter. In both cases, there are obviously simulated trades. Daniel Lorer<\/strong> claims that he invested a lot of money in repairs in order to sell the maisonette a year later for 4,000 euros per square meter.<\/strong> According to BIRD sources, this is not true, and Lorer acquired the property after it had already been renovated by the company STV Consulting. A check by BIRD showed that the luxury apartment is listed as an “office” both in the building permit and in Act 16 issued at the end of 2020. Separately, there is evidence that Assen Vassilev<\/strong> also used a property of his former company “STV Consulting” in the same building, but he did not declare this fact. As revealed by BIRD, the entire building at 3 Chataldzha Street was bought by businesswoman Svetoslava Arnaudova<\/strong>, known as the “Queen of Vignettes”. She paid BGN 1.86 million<\/strong> for Daniel Lorer’s<\/strong> apartment and BGN 3.1 million<\/strong> for all other premises in the building, including the underground garage, gym, offices and land. The high price, the involvement of political figures and the nature of Arnaudova’s business, which depends on the state, caused a political scandal in parliament. The fact that Vassilev is still the owner of an offshore company, in violation of the law, was also on the agenda. After two days of silence, the first comments from Vassilev and Lorer came, but they raised new questions. Vassilev does not comment on his offshore company at all, but extensively talks about his relationship with STV Consulting and how this company bought and reconstructed the building on Svetlana Street. “Chataldzha” with a mortgage bank loan. <\/p>\n

“Take care of the thuja in the garden”<\/span><\/h2>\n

“In May 2021, I left the company and this ended my participation in STV Consulting EOOD, which is also evident from the Commercial Register,” says Asen Vassilev<\/strong>. But he retained financial and economic ties with the company “<\/span>STV Consulting<\/a><\/span>“<\/span> Ltd. long after he formally left it by selling it for BGN 99.<\/strong> to his collaborator Mario Sotirov<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In a short video<\/a><\/strong> posted on Assen Vassilev’s<\/strong> Facebook profile, he says: “Today I had decided to take care of the thuja in the garden…<\/em><\/strong>“. Vassilev was standing in the yard of the building on ul. “Chataldzha” 3. The date is 22.04.2023 The video is the formal proof that at least until the spring of 2023, Asen Vassilev uses this property<\/strong>. The office of We Continue the Change is located there, but since 2022, Vassilev has furnished part of one of the offices as a home. <\/p>\n

At the time of the video (April 22, 2023), the offices and the garden with the thuja<\/strong> belong to STV Consulting EOOD and by law the use of someone else’s real estate must be declared. Assen Vassilev<\/strong> has not complied with this requirement<\/strong> in any of his declarations as a minister and MP. This is not the only violation of the Finance Minister. According to documents in the Commercial Register, he is still the owner of an offshore company<\/strong>. And so far, he has avoided any explanations on this topic, although it is hardly very difficult to obtain a document that he has terminated all relations with the offshore company within the legal period.<\/p>\n
