Antoaneta Vasileva, wife of Tsvetan Vasilev – majority owner of troubled Corporate Commercial Bank (KTB) was questioned in the Sofia Investigation Service in connection to a money laundering investigation, reports Dnevnik.bg.

She was summoned as a witness in the case investigating the purchase of a CHF 20 M house at the shore of the Geneva lake by herself and her husband.

According to Vasileva's lawyer Menko Menkov, Vasileva presented documents proving that her husband provided CHF 10 M – declared income with paid taxes. Vasileva took the other half as a credit from a Swiss bank, mortgaging the house.

Upon leaving the Investigation Service building, Menkov told journalists the property was a single room, unfurnished building of 200 sq m with a leaking roof, which most likely would be distrained by the bank.
