A final court ruling has confirmed the forfeiture of EUR 116,000 (BGN 227,000) in unlawfully acquired assets, according to the Commission for Illegal Asset Forfeiture (CIAF). The confiscation relates to a significant criminal case involving allegations of possessing and intending to distribute high-risk narcotic substances in particularly large quantities. The Supreme Court of Cassation issued the final ruling on April 17.
The legal proceedings originated following a notification from the Blagoevgrad Regional Prosecutor’s Office concerning pretrial proceedings against an individual identified as K.N., known by the nickname “Eypala.”
The court’s decision upheld previous rulings from two subsequent instances. As part of the forfeiture order, the state was awarded various assets, including two apartments located in Sandanski, multiple motor vehicles, and substantial monetary funds. These assets also encompassed the proceeds from a sold motor vehicle, three additional cars owned by the person under investigation, and various sums deposited in bank accounts.
The confirmation of these assets underscores the legal process surrounding illicit gains connected to drug offenses. The ruling confirms the seizure of substantial financial and real property assets, solidifying the state’s claim over the proceeds linked to the illegal activities detailed in the case. The final ruling marks the conclusion of the judicial review process for these confiscated assets.
