Deputy Speaker of Bulgarian Parliament Vesselin Mareshki sentenced to four years in prison for extortion
The Deputy Speaker of Parliament and leader of VOLYA Vesselin Mareshki was found guilty of extortion and black mail by a second instance court yesterday and sentenced to four years in prison. Krassimira Koleva, named as his accomplice, received a three and a half sentence on the same counts.
According to the indictment, between October 9 and November 16 2014, Mareshki and Koleva blackmailed and extorted entrepreneur Asen Milanov to pay them 10’000 leva monthly rent for the space of his pizza restaurant in Varna.
Milanov is Koleva’s ex-husband. The prosecutors in the case claim that after Koleva failed to secure ownership of the business, she had resorted to alternative means with the help of Mareshki.
Koleva and Mareshki’s connection is through a loan: apparently Koleva owned Mareshki 65’000 leva. The indictment states that the motive for Mareshki’s involvement is to be able to receive his money back. According to the prosecutors’ case, Mareshki and Koleva threatened the pizza restaurant owner that unless he pays the amount they asked, they would destroy his business.
After Milanov refused to pay the 10’000-monthly fee, asked by Mareshki and Koleva, the two retaliated through administrative pressure: inquires, checks, power cuts and the like.
