The testimony of the leader of a high profiled kidnappers’ gang, which was busted at the end of last year, has led to the discovery of the two dead bodies near the capital Sofia on Friday.
Earlier on Friday the police announced they found the body of Yulian Lefterov, a car thief who went missing in January 2009. Shortly after that one more dead body, supposed to be of a criminal who was kidnapped by the high-profile kidnappers’ gang known as “The Impudent”, was also discovered.
Ivaylo Evtimov, aka Yozhi, known as the leader of “The Impudent” gang, is believed to have sealed an agreement with the prosecutors, trading his testimony for lighter charges, according to sources from the prosecutor's office.
The sources say that following his testimony, prosecutors will charge Yozhi only with kidnapping, skipping the charges for participation and organization of a criminal group.
“All hidden parts in the puzzle will appear soon and you will see the logic in our actions,” Sofia City prosecutor Nikolay Kokinov commented on Friday.
According to him the pressure that the Interior Ministry and the prosecutor's office put the criminal world under is quite strong and will yield results.
“I believe we are on the right track and in the next few days, weeks you will witness some interesting developments,” Kokinov told journalists.
Ivaylo Evtimov belonged to a 25-member gang responsible for over a dozen abductions in Bulgaria in the last two years, who were arrested in the first special raid dubbed “The Impudent”.
Five more members of the high-profile kidnappers’ gang were arrested by the Bulgarian police in a follow-up of the raid.
