Sofia City Court postponed once again the hearing of the trial over the murder of alleged mobster Milcho Bonev, dubbed Baj Mile, who was shot in 2004.

Irregularities in the summoning of witnesses from Turkey and Bulgaria made the court come up with this ruling. The next hearing has been scheduled for May 18.

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.
