Rumen Gaitanski nicknamed the Wolf, was detained for 72 hours after he surrendered voluntarily.
The Sofia City Court started the hearing on the measure of Rumen Gaitanski - Valka, after the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office filed a request to impose the most severe measure of remand, "detention in custody", reported BGNES.
Businessman Rumen Gaitanski, nicknamed the Wolf, surrendered to the authorities on August 16. This happened after he and the former executive director of the Bulgarian Development Bank (BDB) Stoyan Mavrodiev were accused of embezzlement on a particularly large scale, constituting a serious case.
Gaitanski, Mavrodiev and lawyer Ivan Georgiev are being investigated for misappropriation of an unsecured loan worth nearly BGN 150 million, taken from BDB.
A bail of 50,000 BGN was imposed for lawyer Georgiev. Mavrodiev is still being sought.
According to the investigation, part of nearly BGN 150 million of money from BDB went to buy luxury cars, and BGN 30 million of the loan was transferred to a company related to Gaitanski, with which TEP-Varna's debts to "Commercial Bank" were repaid. TEP-Varna is contacting the honorary chairman of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms Ahmed Dogan. I BGNES
