Bulgarian police have arrested 6 people who are alleged to be from the organized crime group of Dimitar Zhelyazkov, aka Mityo Ochite.
Burgas police seized a large quantity of illegal firearms and ammunition in raids early Wednesday on the Nesebar - Pomorie crime group. The six will be charged with theft, racketeering, fraud, burglary, and one of them with causing a death in a road accident.
Five of the arrested were named as gang boss Hristo Ivanov – Orizarska, Stefan Gornyachki, Stoycho Radev – Kambanata, Dimitar Neychev and Atanas Ivanov – Neeskensa. The sixth member’s name was kept confidential.
The gang worked in the Nesebar-Sunny Beach area and held an alleged monopoly on the pimps, prostitutes, drug trafficking and extortion of taxi drivers. Prostitutes reportedly paid a BGN 300 fee to work on their turf.
In December a brand new suit was filed against Mityo Ochite, and members of his family.
The new suit is for large-scale money laundering against Zhelyazkov, his mother Stanka, his uncle Ivan, and the woman that he has been living out of wedlock Antigona.
In 2008, Zhelyazkov was sentenced to 4,5 years in jail after confessing to the charges of heading an organized crime group involved in drug dealing.
