Bulgarian City Councilor Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison

Crime | May 27, 2010, Thursday // 08:57

Valeri Nenov, regional head of the nationalist party VMRO in the Bulgarian city of Kyustendil, has received a four-year sentence.

Nenov, who has been a city councilor from the VMRO party and is also an acting lawyer, has been found guilty of “large-scale frauds.”

The VMRO activist has received BGN 42 500 for selling a title deed of a downtown store, which, however, turned out to have been sold to another person earlier.

Nenov is also the defendant in several other fraud suits filed by private persons and firms, and is facing hooliganism charges because during the last local elections he misbehaved while participating in a local cable TV show and made death threats against reporters and cameramen.

He will not be dismissed immediately from the Kyustendil city council because the sentence will not enter into force if it is appealed.
