„Bulgarians are not a factor in the global cocaine trafficking. Bulgarians are well prepared and relatively cheap”, said the former Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Interior Kalin Georgiev on the program „Ofansiva”.
„Shortly after the kidnapping of Evelin Banev's daughter - Brendo, the dismantling of the Ministry of Interior began. Then the "Kostinbrod" affair began, the next reforms began, the Directorate of the Criminal Investigation Department was transferred to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, they destroyed the services that could have revealed this message, he said.
“There was a text message about the Lara case that read: “This is not primary between us, but secondary, you know”. This suggested a connection with her father's criminal activity. This message was sent to the person who was leading the negotiations, not to Banev. I have no more information. But this topic has probably not been investigated further,” Georgiev emphasized.
“I don't know if anyone remembers the group of "The Impudent Ones", who terrified the entire country 15 years ago. The operational information we had was that Mitko and Radoslav Lebeshkovski were connections to the active criminal contingent. They are relatives of Yosko Bezdenski, who was previously suspected of the kidnapping of Stefko Kolev, then the kidnapping and murder of Ivan Mozhe. Otherwise, they have been gravitating around the group of "Nagli" since March or early 2008 and are involved in the logistics and kidnapping of Angel Bonev, the late Kamelia Boncheva and Rumen Guninski, said the former Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
“We could not reach the higher levels of the group, if there were any. We also could not reach the money they received throughout the period of numerous kidnappings. Everything we could do, we did”, he pointed out.
“I don't know who looked into the little money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs employees. By law, to reach such a 50% increase means that they were insultingly low. As the Chief Secretary, I was looking for money to borrow to make ends meet," Georgiev emphasized.
“After demilitarization, the entire system for career development in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was disrupted”, he said. “Increasing salaries is the first step towards having quality people apply for competitions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be protectors, not clerks”, concluded the former Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
