Bulgaria's Top Cop Vows Verdicts in High-profile Cases
The evidence and the charges against former undercover agent of the State Agency for National Security (DANS), Aleksei Petrov, are stronger than ever and will hold in court.
Bulgarian prosecutors have hinted they are on their way to unravel the murder of controversial crime journalist Bobi Tsankov, who was shot dead in a gangland-style execution at the beginning of the year.
“I already have an idea, though a vague one, about who killed Bobi Tsankov,” Nikolay Kokinov, Sofia City Prosecutor, announced on Wednesday.
Bobi Tsankov was shot dead on January 5 as he was entering an apartment block with other two men, according to the police.
The two gunmen escaped on foot.
Tsankov, who frequently reported on organized crime in Bulgaria, died at the scene. His companions were hospitalized in critical condition.
In a similar attack in downtown Sofia two years ago, gunmen shot dead writer Georgi Stoev, the author of several books on organized crime in Bulgaria.
