The Sofia City Court announced Friday that the trial of Krasimir and Nikolay Marinov, aka The Marguin Brothers, will continue on March 16

The Marguin Brothers together with Veselin Toshev, Stefan Rangelov, Ivo Karageorgiev, and Biser Iliev are charged with plotting the murders of controversial radio host Bobi Tsankov, Nikola Damyanov, and Ivan Todorov, aka The Doctor (a large-scale mafia boss specialized at international cigarettes contraband), and of General Lyuben Gotsev (who survived the attempt on his life).

Ivo Ilchev, a protected witness, refused Thursday to back the accusations against top Bulgarian crime bosses known as the Marguin Brothers, who are charged with plotting three murders.

Nikolay Marinov aka the Little Marguin, who is still missing, will be tried in his absence. There is a State-wide and European arrest warrant for the Little Marguin after he failed to appear at the last court session.
