An investigation linked to the “Baba Alino” case has led to the detention of 25 individuals, including five employees of Varna Municipality, as authorities expand inquiries into alleged illegal construction and related practices in the region.
Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev said the operation is part of a broader probe into the activities of the KYB corporation and suspected irregularities in Varna Municipality. He confirmed that dozens of witnesses have been questioned and evidence continues to be collected.
Demerdzhiev stated, “Nevzorov has been questioned in detail, there are 25 people arrested. Some of them will be charged. Mechanisms are being clarified not only in relation to the emergence of this illegal settlement of KYB, but also other illegal practices in Varna Municipality. Evidence is being collected.”
According to the minister, the investigation covers a period spanning roughly two to four years, focusing on documentation and procedures allegedly used to legalize construction described by authorities as unlawful. He noted that the probe also examines wider administrative practices beyond the KYB case itself.
