The Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office has brought a legal indictment against Credit Suisse Bank for refusing to cooperate in an investigation into money laundering by a Bulgarian criminal group for cocaine trafficking. This is the organization of Evelin Banev-Brendo, which was convicted of drugs in Bulgaria, Italy and Romania, but is in hiding and is wanted by Interpol, as “24 Chasa” has learned.
The Swiss prosecutor’s office reports that a combatant of the criminal group and his employer are involved. These are coach Georgi Karamanliev, who lives in Switzerland, and Evelin Banev himself. Karamanliev took Brendo’s millions by car to Switzerland and deposited them in the bank. The financial institution knew about this, but did nothing to stop the money laundering. In addition to Brendo and Karamanliev, a former director of the bank, who was in contact with drug traffickers, is also under investigation.
The proceeds from the sale of drugs were credited to Credit Suisse between 2004 and 2008. The money, more than 140 million Swiss francs, was used to buy property in Bulgaria and Switzerland. The bank denies the allegations in a statement on its website. The investigation against Brando in Switzerland became known in 2012.
