The names of over 15,000 companies, foundations and trusts and their owners and managers have been published. There are dozens of Bulgarians among them. The offshore companies related to Bulgaria are registered in the British Virgin Islands. Among the new names are a coordinator of &#8220;There is such a people&#8221;, businessmen associated with the groups of the Transition, bankers, lawyers of famous entrepreneurs and even a distributor of Belarusian vodka in Russia, <strong>registered in Sofia Municipality<\/strong>, a check of the BIRD.BG showed. One of the interesting new faces is <a href=\"https:\/\/offshoreleaks.icij.org\/nodes\/240042270\"><br \/>\n  <strong>Ignat Sergiev Chakarov<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>, born in 1946, who in the ICIJ database contacts the offshore companies MINYON HOLDINGS LIMITED and GAIL Invest Limited. At the dawn of the Transition, Chakarov registered a joint-stock company &#8220;Invest Group&#8221; AD in hotel &#8220;Orbita&#8221;, office 415, together with Krasimir Georgiev, known from the affairs &#8220;Frontier&#8221;. In the same office of hotel &#8220;Orbita&#8221; a year later was registered the company &#8220;Alfa-93&#8221; Ltd. of Stoil Slavov, founder of the SIC group and Bozhidar Brusev (former head of TD of the State Reserve in Sofia). Other prominent partners of Chakarov from those years were Nikolay Valkanov from Minstroy and the son of the communist leader Stanko Todorov. Ignat Chakarov, however, is contacting more than one offshore company, a check of the BRRD showed, and at least one of them is also operating in Russia. The attempt to contact Mr. Chakarov through his son, who is the owner of an IT company in the United States, did not receive feedback until the publication of the article. <a href=\"https:\/\/offshoreleaks.icij.org\/nodes\/240042392\"><strong>Petar Ignatov<\/strong><\/a>, born in 1959, who has Bulgarian and Russian citizenship, is another interesting figure. He is a former partner of arms dealer <strong>Dobrin Ivanov<\/strong> in the company &#8220;DP&#8221;, related to the interests of MP Delyan Peevski in the Dunarit affair. Ignatov is present in the Pandora Files with the offshore companies MEXFORD ENTERPRISES LIMITED, I&amp;P LIMITED, BASSMORE LIMITED and CS Construction Solutions International Ltd. Dobrin Ivanov is also known to be the owner of the party television of GERB TV Europe. Another ICIJ investigation called FinCen Files <a href=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/fincen-files-solidstar-castlefront-investbank-magnitski.html\">revealed<\/a> that the arms company Transmobile, owned by Dobrin Ivanov, received large sums from an offshore company related to money laundering in <strong>the Magnitsky scheme.<\/strong> The coordinator of the PP &#8220;There is such a people&#8221; in Cyprus, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoreleaks.icij.org\/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=MLADENDV&amp;commit=Search&amp;c=&amp;j=&amp;d=\">Dimo Marinov Mladenov<\/a><\/strong> , was also included in the &#8220;Pandora Papers&#8221; with his company MARCELL OVERSEAS LIMITED, registered in the British Virgin Islands in 2014 this offshore company. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attorney-at-law <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoreleaks.icij.org\/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=kamburov&amp;commit=Search&amp;c=&amp;j=&amp;d=\"><b>Yavor Nedev Kamburov<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the owner of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/tr\/?q=%D0%A2%D0%A0%D0%90%D0%9D%D0%A1+%D0%A1%D0%A2%D0%9E%D0%9A+%D0%98%D0%9D%D0%92%D0%95%D0%A1%D0%A2%D0%9C%D0%AA%D0%9D%D0%A2&amp;index=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TRANS STOCK INVESTMENT LTD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, registered in the British Virgin Islands by Alcogal, which until 22.04.2016 was the owner of &#8220;TULEX ESTATE&#8221; EOOD, and Yavor Kamburov was a procurator.

In this case, ADG Capital Ltd. is the owner of a Russian company that, together with the Belarusian holding company Minsk Kristal, sells Belarusian vodka to Russia and plans to expand in China and other markets, according to the Pandora-Files documents. Young Gagauz with Bulgarian citizenship seems to be a straw of the real owners. The data published by ICIJ are partial, explicitly emphasized in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icij.org\/investigations\/pandora-papers\/icij-releases-new-pandora-papers-data-from-two-offshore-service-providers\/\">announcement of the consortium<\/a>. They are only from two intermediaries for registration of offshore companies: Alcogal and Fidelity. BIRD.BG is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icij.org\/investigations\/pandora-papers\/\">ICIJ&#8217;s<\/a> partner in the investigation and continues to examine information on nearly 200 Bulgarian citizens or living in Bulgaria who appear in the Pandora-Files. The Bulgarian politicians in the Pandora Files revealed so far are <a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/pandora-papers-peevski-1\/\"><br \/>\n  <strong>Delyan Peevski<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>, Nikolay <a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/pandora-papers-mladenov\/\"><br \/>\n  <strong>Mladenov<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>, <strong><br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/pandora-barekov\/\">Nikolay Barekov<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong>, and <strong><br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/pandora-bedel-havalyov\/\">Arben Khavalyov<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong>. The investigation of the BIRD.BG also revealed the secret offshore companies of the owners of First Investment Bank <a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/pandora-fibank\/\"><br \/>\n  <strong>Tseko Minev and Ivaylo Mutafchiev<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>, who over the years have received loans worth over a billion levs from their own bank. Their offshore companies have also been used in schemes for racketeering the business with final beneficiary Delyan Peevski. After the outbreak of the Pandora Files scandal, several Bulgarian institutions, including the NRA, promised to investigate the persons with offshore companies, but the only publicly known action so far is the habituation of Delyan Peevski to the State Agency for National Security. It is noteworthy that the Bulgarian Magnitsky list, prepared by the Ministry of Finance, has not yet been expanded with Peevski&#8217;s new offshore companies, which jumped out of Pandora. There is also no lawyer <strong>Alexander Angelov<\/strong>, to whom Peevski has transferred two offshore companies.  &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warning!
