The double assassin, who shot Blagoevgrad businessman, owner of “Cosmos” A. Hristov, and then smashed the skull of his accomplice, is walking free somewhere in the world. For a decade no one knows where he is, writes struma.com.

“There is no time to lose, help us to retain these fugitives” is the slogan of a campaign by European law enforcement agencies, including the Bulgarian Ministry of the Interior. Under the motto are photos of the 50 most wanted criminals in Europe, perpetrators of brutal and serious crimes, rapes, murders, kidnappings, drug trafficking and human trafficking.

Number 43, among the photos, is Anton Petkovski from Sandanski – Nashko. Wanted for 10 years, sentenced to life in prison for the murder of an iconic businessman in Blagoevgrad. In 2001, Nashko shot and killed A. Hristov, the owner of the Cosmos complex, outside his villa in the village of Selishte. He killed him in cold blood, out of focus. In front of his wife.

In the execution, planned because of unclear financial relationships, Nashko had an accomplice, Emil Nikolov, Madaka, a criminal, a good acquaintance of the police, a specialist in escaping arrest. During the shooting, the businessman’s wife would also have been a victim of the murderers, but Madaka saved her and lost her life.


While attacking her husband, the woman resisted, removing the mask from Nashko’s accomplice and seeing his face, while Nashko yelled at his partner to finish her off, to shoot her. The dogs barked, the neighbors moved, and the killers fled. Police were called to the scene to initiate an investigation and search for the fugitives.

The day after the shooting, in a ravine by the river, the body of the Magician was found, shot in the forehead. It was clear to investigators that the other murderer had seen his account so as not to be revealed, since the businessman’s wife could recognize the Asshole. For more than two years, the local police were working on the case, but they had not thought of extracting the DNA from the saliva left in the killer’s hat, which is next to the Madak’s body.

Botyo Botev, a legendary policeman of his time, reminded them. The DNA responded to Nashko’s. Thus, 2 years and 3 months later, the murderer was arrested and the trial against him lasted about 10 years. In the end, he was sentenced to life in prison, but Nashko was awaiting his sentence, which was delivered to him by the magistrates.

As soon as he received the sentence and had to be imprisoned, he disappeared. Without a trace. He dealt a terrible blow to the Bulgarian justice. It was said that he was prepared to escape. He changed his identity and went first to the Netherlands and then to South Africa. There has been no trace of Nashko for 10 years.

Interpol has been looking for him for years, but nothing. There were legends about him in Sandanski: he was a trained assassin, he had other contract killings, he was very smart … and they predicted that he would overturn the system and not go to prison. And so it happened … The double murderer Nashko cried two families and is free. Undaunted … I don’t know where …
