Ukraine awards Magnitsky-sanctioned Delyan Peevski from Bulgaria
In an extraordinary constellation of interests, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Ruslan Stefanchuk awarded Bulgaria's most prominent post-Soviet oligarch for unspecified support
Peevski's affiliations with the Putin regime are so notorious, that he has been sanctioned in several Western countries by a legislation named after the victim of Russia's oligarchy Sergei Magnitsky.
You're viewing a single thread.
Context that seems to say this guy was sanctioned for white-collar crimes and corruption, but has pivoted to supporting Ukraine for a while now. Presumably to make amends and get the sanctions removed.
He declares things like this for ages, yet he informally controls the chief prosecutor's office (and with this practically the entire legal system) in the country and as a consequence nobody moves a finger. This is not something that any politician on the continent doesn't know. It is a deliberate and well-informed act. https://www.politico.eu/article/bulgaria-how-it-became-mafia-state-of-eu/ Watch this space, but so far no actual signs.
