Bulgarian judge Panayot Genkov and alleged mafia boss Angel Hristov never shared a table in a Sofia restaurant.
This information has been revealed Wednesday morning by Judge Tsoni Tsonev, head of the Ethics Commission of the Supreme Judicial Council (VSS), speaking on BNT 1.
A new judicial system scandal was about to unfoil amidst reports on Tuesday that judge Genkov and one of the two so called Galevi Brothers, Angel Hristov, were spotted sharing a table in a restaurant in Sofia.
The Galevi Brothers, former policemen and notorious businessmen from the southwestern town of Dupnitsa, are currently facing organized crime charges.
An inspection of the Ethnics Commission of the VSS investigated the case by talking to judge Genkov and the staff of the restaurant in question and found that Genkov and Angel Hristov were never sitting on the same table even though they were in the same restaurant at one and the same time.
The Commission is now investigating if any of Genkov’s cases is in some way related to Angel Hristov.
Tsonev has recommended that his colleagues avoid places where they might have ”bad company.”
