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). This action stems from a complex case involving charges of possession with intent to distribute high-risk narcotic substances in particularly large quantities. The Supreme Court of Cassation issued the final decision on April 17.
The legal proceedings were initiated following notification from the Blagoevgrad Regional Prosecutor’s Office regarding pretrial proceedings against an individual identified as K.N., known by the nickname “Eypala.” The charges related to the illegal possession and distribution of narcotics. The forfeiture ruling confirmed and upheld previous decisions made by two lower court instances. The state was awarded the seizure of multiple items, including two apartments located in Sandanski.
Furthermore, the confiscated assets encompassed a motor vehicle, various monetary funds—which included the equivalent value of a previously sold vehicle—three additional cars owned by the person under investigation, and multiple sums deposited in various bank accounts. The confirmation of the forfeiture demonstrates the judiciary’s action in recovering wealth derived from illicit activities. The ruling solidifies the confiscation of these substantial assets, marking a significant legal conclusion to the narcotics-related case before the Supreme Court.
