A 40-year-old man was shot dead in the very downtown of Bulgaria's capital Sofia early on Wednesday.
The accident took place at approximately 10:00 am at the crossing of the Cyril and Methodius and Budapest streets.
The man was from the Southwestern town of Blagoevgrad and "was involved in organizing illegal gambling", police authorities have stated.
The dead man had a total of EUR 5 000 and BGN 32 000 in his possession, police officers have revealed.
In 2004, the man was investigated for developing an illegal football betting network. The betting network's server is said to have been installed in the Blagoevgrad-based American University in Bulgaria.
