A final court ruling has confirmed the confiscation 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 linked to a case involving the possession of high-risk narcotic substances in particularly large quantities. The Supreme Court of Cassation issued the final ruling on April 17.
The proceedings began after the Blagoevgrad Regional Prosecutor’s Office initiated pre-trial proceedings against an individual identified as K.N., known by the nickname “Eypala,” concerning the offense. The initial regional court decision was subsequently upheld through two subsequent appeals. The court ordered the confiscation of several items in favor of the state.
These assets included two apartments located in Sandanski, a motor vehicle, monetary funds (which accounted for the value of a sold motor vehicle), three vehicles owned by the person under investigation, and various sums held in bank accounts. The final confirmation of these assets’ forfeiture solidifies the legal action taken in this significant case. The ruling underscores the legal mechanisms in place to recover assets linked to illicit activities.
