The corpse of Stoyan Stoyanov, a businessman from the southeast Bulgarian city of Burgas who have been missing for 1,5 years, has been discovered.

This has been announced by Bulgaria’s Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov. The 36-year-old president of the Graniti firm disappeared on March 6, 2009, around 10:30 pm as he went to park his car.

The police have investigated the case as a kidnapping. However, the Burgas businessman has been killed over business interests by competitors from the city of Varna, according to the Standart Daily.

Later on Sunday the Interior Ministry is going to announce at a special press conference details on the investigation of the case.

At the beginning of July 2009, the Bulgarian police arrested two men – 37-year-old Stoyan Kolev and 30-year-old Neno Stoyanov as suspects for kidnapping Stoyan Stoyanov. The two have remained in jail ever since but have not confessed any guilt.

The two men were paid BGN 40 000 for kidnapping and murdering Stoyanov, according to sources from the Burgas police cited by BGNES.

The Burgas District Prosecutor, Angel Angelov, announced then that the name of the person who ordered Stoyanov’s abduction was also known.

On the day he disappeared, Stoyanov had important business talks with Turkish investors interested in the construction of a cement factory near Burgas.
