LiLana and her partner Martin Dimitrov will remain in permanent custody, and the singer’s brother Alexander will pay a 2 times lower bail: BGN 50,000. This was decided on Tuesday afternoon by the Special Appeals Criminal Court after a 6-hour hearing in the building at ul. . “Church”. The magistrates had to consider the measures for the detention of the detainees via Skype, but due to problems with the connection, Lilana and Dimitrov had to appear in court in person.

They and the brother of singer Alexander Deyanov, known as the beatboxer Skiller, are accused of a criminal group that exhausted EU subsidies under the “Innovation and Competitiveness” program. There are two more charges against them. One is for threats against senior officials of the Road Infrastructure Agency, but according to the magistrates, there is no evidence that they have committed such a crime. The other is for tax crimes, for which there was also no evidence according to the court.

In addition to LiLana, Martin Dimitrov and Alexander Deyanov, Alexander Angelov, who is also a young businessman like them, is also accused of being a member of the group. He is the owner of ICT Solutions. The company has won two projects and is financed by the Innovation and Competitiveness Program, as well as by Lilala companies. One of them was paid BGN 750,000 for smart software solutions to increase the company’s capacity. However, a subcontractor is the company “Novanor” by LiLana and Martin Dimitrov, who delivered the software product. Novanor is also a beneficiary of the innovation program, which buys software from an English company, for which he later received subsidies. According to the prosecution, the LiLana companies received money for software that had already been purchased by a Bulgarian company, which in turn rented it. As “24 Chasa” wrote, the companies of LiLana and Martin Dimitrov have absorbed BGN 2.25 million under the “Innovation and competitiveness” program.

Two of the judges decided to keep LiLana in custody, and the third, Daniela Rosenova, signed the ruling with a dissenting opinion.

Two days ago, Lilana released an audio of the arrest, claiming that she and the others were accused of exposing corruption schemes. The recording was made by a lawyer who was with her hours before it was sent to the media, “24 Chasa” found out.

The singer and Martin Dimitrov sit on the board of directors of Teletol AD, which was supposed to be a provider of electronic vignettes, but in November 2019 his contract with RIA was terminated due to a discrepancy in the systems.
