business, including the car industry, sugar trade, fuels trade,
energy, transport and tourism.

Grisha Ganchev is also charged with threatening to murder
Krassimir Stefanov, the National Revenue Agency's director in

Ganchev, Milko Dimitrov and Emilia Stanoeva, former executive
director and Supervisory Board member Kamelia Mircheva, Milko
Talev, Ivailo Talev, Ichko Lozev and Krassimira Grotseva - are
charged with involvement in a criminal group and tax offences.
