Petyo Petrov

Tsvetan Vasilev, the former owner of the Corporate Commercial Bank (CCB), claimed that the bank had financed Delyan Peevski's family with approximately 500 million leva until mid-2013. Vasilev made these statements during a hearing before a temporary parliamentary committee investigating the influence of Petyo Petrov, known as Pepi "The Euro," and Martin Bojanov, nicknamed "The Notary."

Teams of the Ministry of Internal Affairs checked several addresses in the capital last night at the request of the prosecutor's office.

Petyo Petrov, outgoing head of the Sofia Investigative Service, has asked permission to leave the judicial system.

A supreme court ruled on Tuesday that former Defense Minister Nikolay Tsonev, judge Petar Santirov and former Finance Ministry official Tencho Popov are not guilty of bribery.

The decision of the Supreme Court of Cassation (VKS), which puts an end to a four-year-long trial, cannot be appealed.
