Chief prosecutor Ivan Geshev said “cold files” related to Vasil Kaplanov-Kaplata were being opened. Yanek Milanov got into his jeep in Dupnitsa on July 31 and his tracks have since been lost.
Several more pre-trial proceedings were initiated against Kaplanov. There was a detainee who was in custody for the second time and was among the first detainees since the search for Janek began.
There were other pre-trial proceedings, and many old cases involving Kaplanov, which were “frozen,” will be reviewed, Geshev said. And the reasons for this were “heavy dependencies accumulated over the years in most small settlements.”
“When you live in a small town, you are a classmate with someone, your son studies with someone else’s son, you meet every day on the street. It is no coincidence that in the United States, when the state police cannot recover, they come the federal police. “These hysterical attacks against the Special Prosecutor’s Office. When local structures can’t be fixed, federal ones come. The Special Prosecutor’s Office is something like that. That is the reason for these attacks, because people who considered themselves untouchable were affected, “he added. He clarified that the use of a lie detector, as many of Dupnitsa’s people insist in the examination of Kaplata and his wife, is not test, as well as odorological expertise / by the smell that a dog recognizes /.
“If we do not have hope, we will not work in any case. However, we are not talking only about hope, but about gathering evidence. We will work as hard as we should, we will not give up,” Geshev said of the work on the Janek case.
The prosecution is expected to summarize the results of the large-scale inspection of restaurants, shops and others. in Dupnitsa, which started days ago. “Many sites and restaurants are being inspected, giving priority to companies related to the defendant Kaplanov. The control bodies, which are many in this country and do not do their work, should be invited to do their work in the interest of the citizens.” Geshev added.
When asked by journalists that there are already people threatened in Dupnitsa in the case of Yanek’s disappearance, Geshev assured that those who are afraid can go to the supervising prosecutor or him personally, if there is mistrust in the locals. “There is an Office for the Protection of Witnesses to ensure their safety,” Geshev said, hoping local dependencies would be broken.
Prosecutor No. 1 said that an inspection of the Dupnitsa Regional Police Department, appointed by the Minister, was underway and a planned inspection of the District Prosecutor’s Office was underway.
