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) on Friday. The forfeiture is connected to a 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 proceedings began after the Blagoevgrad Regional Prosecutor’s Office initiated pretrial actions against an individual identified as K.N., also known by the nickname “Eypala,” concerning the specified narcotics offense. The regional court’s decision was subsequently affirmed by two subsequent appeals instances. The final ruling resulted in the confiscation of several items in favor of the state.
These assets include two apartments located in Sandanski, one motor vehicle, monetary funds, the equivalent value of a sold motor vehicle, three other vehicles owned by the person under investigation, and various sums held in bank accounts. This confirmation solidifies the legal seizure of significant assets related to the drug trafficking case.
