The publishers of a major Bulgarian press group, formerly owned by WAZMediengruppe, are to be charged with money laundering and tax evasion.
The prosecutor’s office is expected to raise charges of money laundering and tax evasion against Lyubomir Pavlov and his partner Ognyan Donev, who have already been summoned by investigators, the Bulgarian National Radio reported….
The allegations reportedly implicate Pavlov and Donev in a money laundering scheme, thanks to which they purchased by WAZ Mediengruppe assets in Bulgaria and staged a illegal corporate take-over of the newspapers.
The news comes just three days after a scandalous taped recording, implicating publisher of Trud and 24 Hours dailies and chairman of the Union of Publishers in Bulgaria Lyubomir Pavlov, in trading in influence, was published in Presa, a newspaper from the arch enemy group.
