A final court ruling confirmed the forfeiture of EUR 116,000 (BGN 227,000) in unlawfully acquired assets, as reported by the Commission for Illegal Asset Forfeiture (CIAF) on Friday. The forfeiture is connected to a significant criminal case involving the possession with intent 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 commenced after the Blagoevgrad Regional Prosecutor’s Office initiated pretrial actions against an individual identified as K.N., known by the nickname “Eypala,” concerning the narcotics offense. The regional court’s decision was subsequently affirmed by two subsequent appeals instances. The court ordered the confiscation of various assets in favor of the state.
These seized items included two apartments located in Sandanski, a motor vehicle, monetary funds, the equivalent value of a sold motor vehicle, three other cars owned by the person under investigation, and sums held in bank accounts. The ruling confirms the seizure of these assets as part of the ongoing legal process related to the drug possession case.
