A prosecutor from the Kyustendil District Prosecutor’s Office was notified. Pre-trial proceedings have also been initiated, police said. It is not yet clear whether it was a fatal accident or a suicide.
At this point, the version is suicidal. According to unofficial information, after his wife’s divorce, prosecutor Vladimir Sheitanov served two consecutive terms as district attorney for Kyustendil.
According to the Law of the Judicial Power, he did not have the right to a third term and he remained as the titular prosecutor in the District Attorney’s Office. He later applied for a position with the District Attorney’s Office.
As district attorney, Vladimir Sheitanov caused a stir in the media at the time with the case of the so-called “Lyulin Brigade”, which was involved in drug distribution and robberies. Its members were arrested in a botched bank robbery in Kyustendil in 2010. Then the district attorney’s office, headed by Sheitanov, signed an agreement with the perpetrators and they were sentenced to 7 months in prison, the amount of time they remained under their control. custody.
Prosecutor Sheitanov’s wife, lawyer Vasya Pesheva, was president of the Kyustendil Municipal Council for a term from 2007-2011, and then served another term as a municipal councilor with the GERB list. His name is associated with some of the socially significant cases in Kyustendil.
At the time, Pesheva was a lawyer for Slavcho Igov, who was wanted in France years ago by the famous Golovtsi clan. She withdrew her defense the day the defenders protested the unpaid attorney’s fees. Therefore, the court did not appoint Igov’s defense attorney and was forced to release him after his 72-hour detention by order of the prosecutor.
Vasya Pesheva was also a lawyer for farmer Petar Pishtalov, who two years ago was under investigation for the death of horses in Osogovo after starving them in the mountains. The prosecution accused Pishtalov of inhumane treatment of animals, but refused to hold the farmer criminally responsible, for which reason he was acquitted by the District Court in early 2020.
