Prosecution Investigates Banker Tsvetan Vassilev for Money Laundering
Sofia, October 14 (BTA) - For almost a week the Sofia City
Prosecution Office (SCPO) has been investigating banker Tsvetan
Vassilev for money laundering, BTA learned from sources at the
SCPO. For now the investigators refuse to specify the crime
through which Vassilev has "laundered" the money and the sum in
question.
The materials for the money laundering investigation have been
separated from the main investigation in the Corporate
Commercial Bank (Corpbank) case, in which Vassilev is charged
with embezzling 206 million leva from Corpbank as its majority
owner.
The SCPO did not say when it will press charges against
Vassilev, who is currently in Belgrade, released on own
recognizance and awaiting ongoing extradition proceedings in
Bulgaria.
