Ukrainian Woman Detained in Sunny Beach After Attempted Bribery of Police Officers
Bulgarian authorities found themselves grappling with a peculiar case involving a 60-year-old Ukrainian woman
Bulgarian Police re-arrested alleged Sofia mafia boss Stefan Bonev aka Sako late Wednesday night, local media has reported.
According to prosecutors Sako is part of the Krasimir Marionov aka the Big Marguin’s criminal group.
Marinov has been charged with plotting and ordering the murder of controversial journalist, Bobi Tsankov, who was gunned down on January 5 in broad daylight on a busy Sofia boulevard. Tsankov was known for his ties with the mafia and for publications revealing the dark secrets of the underworld.
Sako was also arrested on January 5 on suspicion of being involved in the murder of Tsankov, he was however released without charge a few days later.
In November 2009, Bulgarian Police arrested Sako in Sofia after he chased former radio host Tsankov through the streets of the capital in his car. He is also reported to have made previous threats against Tsankov’s life. Sako was then released after paying BGN 6000 bail.
