A final court ruling has confirmed the confiscation of EUR 116,000 (BGN 227,000) in unlawfully acquired assets, according to the Commission for Illegal Asset Forfeiture (CIAF). The forfeiture stems from a significant criminal case involving the possession of high-risk narcotic substances in quantities deemed particularly large. The final decision was issued by the Supreme Court of Cassation on April 17.
The legal proceedings were initiated after a notification from the Blagoevgrad Regional Prosecutor’s Office concerning pretrial proceedings against an individual identified as K.N., known by the alias “Eypala.” The charges related to the possession with intent to distribute the narcotics. The ruling upheld the findings of previous regional court instances, resulting in the state’s seizure of multiple items and funds. The confiscated assets include two apartments located in Sandanski, a motor vehicle, monetary funds, the proceeds from the sale of another motor vehicle, three additional cars owned by the person under investigation, and various sums held in bank accounts.
The confirmation of these assets underscores the legal action taken against illicitly obtained wealth linked to drug trafficking. The process navigated multiple judicial levels, culminating in the Supreme Court’s final judgment. The confirmation of these assets marks the conclusion of the forfeiture phase within this complex criminal case, establishing the state’s claim over the specified property and funds.
