Gangsters with hands trembling from fear because of our publications and disclosures, sent a macabre warning to the deputy editor-in-chief of our media outlets, Natalia Radoslavova (Finashkova).

Hristo Ivanov, the strawman leader of a lab-engineered political party put in place by Prokopiev’s empire, is tireless in spewing nonsense. He has the looks of an early 1980s comedian and just as hilarious statements. Hristo is like the sad clown of Circus “Oligarchy”.

Bistra Georgieva, head of the weekly publication Banker, has emerged from her apparent slumber and is now leading the charge in the smear campaign of fugitive banker Tsvetan Vassilev, aka the Bulgarian Madoff, against the so-called “Peevski amendment” to the Bank Insolvency Act.

The last talking point of the Capital circle, regarding newspaper distribution in Bulgaria, has become history. According to its decision from 27 May, the Council of Ministers assigns to Bulgarian Posts to take part in the distribution of print publications for the next 10 years.

After the shadowy clique's pawns spread over the week their poorly concocted fake news items about lawmaker and Telegraph Media publisher Delyan Peevski, using the indicted oligarch Ivo Prokopiev's mainstream media machine, former PM Ivan Kostov, aka the Commander of Bulgaria's murky transition to democracy, took matters into his own hands. On Friday, he activated the “heavy hitters” - the “lab technicians” from his think tank with the New Bulgarian University (NBU).

Indicted oligarch Ivo Prokopiev has again employed the services of Reporters Without Borders (RSF) for his battle against the state waged in a bid to forestall the attempts to mete out justice for his crimes. A day after the Anti-Corruption Commission for Illegal Assets Forfeiture (ACCIAF) filed a new claim for confiscation of money and stocks belonging to Prokopiev and his wife Galya Prokopieva worth about BGN half a million, the France-based NGO released an avalanche of tweets to cater to the chieftain of the Capital circle.

NGOs affiliated with the indicted oligarch Ivo Prokopiev are going to distribute the money that the government has earmarked for promoting civil society and funding projects of significance for society as a whole. This is made obvious by the list of 14 organisations that are going to be represented on the new Council for the Development of Civil Society.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has gone beyond its competence with its ruling on the case of Kolevs vs Bulgaria, convicting Bulgaria. On the basis of the ruling, the Strasbourg court, about which a little more than a month ago a French NGO warned that it was controlled by billionaire speculator George Soros, requires Bulgaria to change its constitutional law with regards to its prosecution. The reason is that this way there will be a possibility for introducing criminal sanctions for the Prosecutor General if the latter commits a crime. However, such decision is beyond the competence of ECHR, PIK Agency states in its inquiry.

The godfather of the mafia-style privatisation in Bulgaria, Ivan Kostov, crawled out from his private chamber to join yet another battle of the state against the behind-the-scenes clique. And he - quite expectedly - took the side of the shadowy clique.

One of Bulgaria's national TV stations got caught in a real oligarchic cobweb. Three oligarchs at odds with the justice system managed to spread their tentacles, reaching deep into it: Vasil Bozhkov, charged with inflicting damages to the state treasury to the tune of BGN 700m, indicted fugitive banker Tsvetan Vassilev, and Ivo Prokopiev - an oligarch with two pending cases indicted for privatisation-related affairs.
