A totally unique brand new search engine named after notorious Bulgarian “businessman” Krasio the Black appeared online Monday.

The search engine is called “Krasyo” after Krasimir Georgiev – the man who is in the center of a large scale corruption scandal in Bulgaria’s judicial system. Georgiev was allegedly an intermediary offering the “sale” of top magistrate positions about EUR 200 000.

30 acting high-ranking Bulgarian magistrates, and 14 candidates for top positions (5 of whom already appointed), and 4 Members of Parliament have been exposed to have been in contact with Krasio after the scandal broke out. The case is still under investigation.

The unique new search engine named after Krasio is located at http://www.krasyo.net/. Once the user types a words, the engine automatically combines it with the name of Krasio (in Bulgarian) thus discovering related Internet content.

The search engine has interesting categories and subcategories such as “Rate of Pay for the Services”, “Everything about Krasio”, “Krasio for Everything”, “Krasio and the Magistrates”, “Krasio and the Politicians”.

The Krasio scandal started on June 18, 2009, when a member of the Bulgarian Supreme Judicial Council, Ivan Kolev, revealed information that “some guy called Krasio from Pleven” promised appointments to magistrate positions in exchange for EUR 200 000. Krasio was said to be able to “guarantee” the support of 8-13 members of a total of 27 members of the Council.
