The bank accounts of the former President of the "CSKA" football club Alexander Tomov and its former finance Director Alexander Garibov can be disclosed, as decided Thursday by the Sofia District Court.

The magistrates made the decision after finding the request of the Sofia's Prosecutor's Office justified.

The request to open the bank accounts is in connection with the preliminary legal proceedings against Tomov and Garibov for misuse of power, embezzlement and misappropriation of funds in particularly high amounts estimated at nearly EUR 3,5 M.

The Court's decision calls for "International Asset Bank" to make available any information, including all bank transactions, pertaining to three bank accounts registered to "CSKA" and one other account registered to "Finmetals Holding."

In the beginning of June, UEFA refused to renew CSKA license due to unpaid fees thus eliminating the club from participation in UEFA's Champions League.

Former President Tomov was forced into resignation by angry football fans threatening revenge.
