Bulgarian Court Hears Mobster Murder Case

Crime | April 14, 2008, Monday // 00:00

Sofia City Court will convene again over the murder of alleged mobster Milcho Bonev, dubbed Baj Mile, who was shot in 2004.

One of the key witnesses in the trial is Krassimir Marinov aka the Marguin, a prominent underworld figure who failed to show up in court during the last hearing.

Bonev, one of the founders of Bulgaria's obsolete ex-grouping SIC, was executed along with his bodyguards on July 30, 2004 in broad daylight in Slavia restaurant-garden in Sofia's Ovcha Kupel district.

Tihomir Dochev, Stilian Georgiev, Georgi Stefanov, and Anatoli Mankov, were arrested on charges of involvement in the gang-style shooting of Bonev and the five bodyguards.

Baj Mile was believed to be an important link in the drug trafficking and distributing network on the Balkans, investigated by Bulgarian and Serbian special services.
