A recap for new readers: In late May 2026, Bulgarian authorities exposed a complex of 104 buildings built without permits in the Baba Alino locality near Varna, on land registered as forest inside a Natura 2000 protected zone. The investor was Oleg Nevzorov, a Ukrainian businessman who has since fled to Turkey, and his company KYB Corporation. Our earlier two articles covered the background and the first wave of developments. This is what has emerged in the past several days.
The Baba Alino story has now reached the stage where every inspection produces a new violation. The complex was already known to be illegally constructed. It now turns out to have been illegally watered as well.
Two Illegal Wells, Possibly More
On a tip from the "Revival" MP Kosta Stoyanov, the Black Sea Basin Directorate inspected the area and found two unauthorized water extraction wells. One is fully operational and feeding the complex through underground pipes. The other is still under construction. Neither has any of the required permits, not from the Basin Directorate for water extraction, nor from the municipality under the Spatial Development Act. Yavor Dimitrov, director of the Basin Directorate, told BNT that the entire water network is buried underground, making it difficult to trace, but inspectors have found collector pipes and meters in residential buildings nearby.
