German tourists are once again choosing Varna as a destination, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Tourism
Bulgaria’s Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, confirmed people arrested during the latest special police operation codenamed “Killers” are involved in Yuri Galev’s murder.
Tsvetanov spoke in an interview for Darik radio Saturday morning but declined to offer many details over the special press conference on the police operation scheduled for 12 pm the same day.
Tsvetanov informed that Stoyanov is in the hospital now being treated for high blood pressure, and said the person who ordered Galev’s murder is known to the police as well as some of the motives behind it.
Galev, who was brutally shot June 20, passed away in hospital on June 30. He was notorious in Samokov for a number of criminal acts.
The “Killers” have been involved in several high profile murders during the last 20 years of the so-called “transition period,” according to the Minister, who pointed out that Galev’s murder is the first murder for hire in Bulgaria that was solved quickly due to great police work and partnership with the National Agency for State Security (DANS).
Tsvetanov further reiterated his firm support for the idea to establish a special tribunal to deal solely and speedily with high-profile organized crime cases.
