site.btaYes, Bulgaria Alerts US Government of Substantial Money Transfers by Delyan Peevski

Yes, Bulgaria has submitted an alert to OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) in the United States, which, as part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is responsible for enforcing sanctions regimes, the party’s press office said. The report is related to “the existence of bank accounts and transfers of substantial financial funds, including in U.S. dollars, by Delyan Peevski through a Bulgarian bank,” the press center clarified.

Yes, Bulgaria co-leader Ivaylo Mirchev, quoted in the statement, is convinced that the operations violate U.S. sanctions against Peevski under the global Magnitsky act. According to Bozhidar Bozhanov, co-chair of Yes, Bulgaria, just as sanctions are correctly applied to Lukoil, they should also be applied to sanctioned individuals.
