The Cocaine King Evelyn Banev-Brendo, who immediately returned to our nation, stood earlier than the courtroom in shorts right this moment, whereas within the Nationwide Meeting the deputies have been arguing and insulting about when and the way he arrived in our nation and who’s guilty for letting him go with out to arrest him.
“Highschool graduate, firm supervisor, Bulgarian citizen.” That is how Brendo introduced himself on the Sofia Metropolis Courtroom, the place he was introduced in an armored automobile and an escort with a particular site visitors regime.

“All of us noticed that Banev’s look was pre-planned and occurred in response to a script. How precisely did this journalist, from a Burgas website, find yourself on this place? That is extraordinarily unusual, however it was actually performed out earlier than and was deliberate,” Stoyanov commented on Brendo’s look in entrance of the jail with a lawyer and a cameraman.

Not less than he did not betray his helpers. The person was picked and booked, that is regular after he is in jail,” defined Stoyanov.

He gave an instance of individuals from Cosa Nostra who have been arrested after 38 years of looking out.
