Sofia. Sofia City Prosecutor's Office gave details about last night's
operation of the Chief Directorate for Fight with Organized Crime
when the police prevented the killing of a businessman with criminal
history.
Businessman Bozhin Bozhinov who was born in 1976 was the object of
an attempted murder, Sofia city prosecutor Nikolay Kokinov said at
the news briefing.
For now we can only guess what he was doing, apparently some kind
of a criminal business, broken promises. Bozhinov is registered with
the police for frauds. He is now being questioned, said the prosecutor.
Last night it was announced that a Montenegrin and three Armenians
were detained in the operation.
One person will be charged in the contract killing case in Sofia. The
person has Serbian citizenship and is called Bitiki Haki, said
prosecutor Nikolay Kokinov.
An identity card with other names, Haki Ukshini, was found with
him. His real identity is yet to be established.
According to the information available so far the person served
a sentence in a Bulgarian prison and was convicted of illegally
crossing the border, document crimes and drugs. The Serbian citizen
served the sentence in a Bulgarian prison together with the Lebanese
national Mustafa Mohamed Ismail and about ten days ago suggested him to
kill the Bulgarian citizen Bozhin Bozhinov. The Serbian gave Mustafa
Mohamed Ismail a gun, promised him BGN 30,000 and gave him photos of
the victim's everyday route. The Lebanese citizen supposed to carry
out the killing voluntarily went to the police and told everything
about the case. A judge is now questioning him, said the prosecutor.
The reason for the order is unsettled scores, according to the
Prosecutor's Office.
The killer was supposed to get the money after the killing, said
the prosecutor.
The Lebanese national will be a witness in the case and cooperated
with the police and Prosecutor's Office voluntarily.
The Prosecutor's Office is not interested in the three Armenian
citizens detained in last night's police operation in Sofia in relation
with a planned contract killing of businessman Bozhin Bozhinov,
said Nikolay Kokinov.
The three Armenians were detained in an entertainment entity while
the Serbian national Bitiki Haki was arrested. The Serbian citizen
will be charged with ordering a killing. One of the Armenians is
wanted with a Red Notice.
The prosecutor said the Armenians would be extradited.
In a place next to the entertainment entity in which the Armenians
were detained the police found containers with liquid suspected to
be related with synthetic drugs production. The containers will be
analyzed and for now it seems they are not connected with the prepared
killing, said the prosecutor.
