The Anti-Corruption Commission (KPCONPI) will have to pay a record BGN 327,000 in costs due to the failure of its forfeiture case against Hristo Biserov’s stepson Ivaylo Glavinkov, an inspection of Mediapool. The commission wanted to seize a property worth BGN 4 million from Glavinkov, his mother and Glavinkov’s company Solari Elov Dol. It is the equivalence of company shares, amounts in bank accounts granted by Glavnikov loans to companies and a villa in Dolna Banya.
The forfeiture case started five years ago but has been delayed due to the requested interpretation of the confiscation law before the Court of Justice. Before the confiscation case against Glavinkov failed, the case against MRF senior cadre Hristo Bisserov and his relatives, which was being processed by the prosecutor’s office, also failed miserably.
Judge Evgenia Geneva of the Sofia District Court wrote in her decision that KPKONPI was obliged to indicate the specific factual reasons for the illegality of the property acquired by Glavnkov.
“For a source of funds to be illegal, it must have been recognized as such with a final act in the corresponding criminal or administrative process,” the judge wrote.
Remember that the criminal case against Glavinkov ended in 2016 because no evidence was collected. A year later, the Supreme Administrative Court annulled the tax audit law against him. Therefore, KPKONPI’s motives hang. Judge Geneva recalls that some of KPKONPI’s claims have been extinguished by prescription.
