THE ROAD AND RAILWAY RINGS OF BOYKO AND DELYAN VASIL VASILEV AND DARIO STOEV - GUARDS TURNED "BUILDERS"

Back in the distant year of 2005, in Slavi's Show, the "great thinker and strategist" of the Transition, Ahmed Dogan, formulated its meaning and philosophy: Parties and their leaders should create and nurture businesses, rings of companies, through which all public resources, all public procurement, should pass, and the appointed "businessmen" should fill the party coffers and the personal accounts of the politicians. And for all economic entities outside the "rings" - only crumbs from the state table, "the wolves have eaten them", let everyone fend for themselves as best they can...

In its full volume and "splendor", the so-called "OLIGARCHIC MODEL" flourished in the last 15 to 20 years, under the dual power of Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski.

But in fact, Boyko himself put the cherry on the cake when he appointed former guards from Lom, Vasil Tsenkov Vasilev and Dario Tikhomirov Stoev, to "build" the critical infrastructure in Bulgaria. /see "THIS IS HOW THE PRIME MINISTER STEALS: Boyko gave public procurement contracts worth 800 million BGN to his own guards"/. Even one of them, Vasil Vasilev, was part of the NSO team that guarded Borisov during his first term. Completely inexplicable, with many question marks, is the sudden "reappointment" of the said guard from the NSO to "co-owner" of INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION AD. The company was established in 2007 specifically for the absorption of EU funds from railway projects "in the second way". Vasilev's partner in INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION is Dario Stoev. Before that, the two tough guys were partners in the companies DV Stroy and DV Imoti, also created for winning public procurement contracts. In 2019, the guards "won" a contract for "reconstruction of the Poduyane railway station in Sofia" - the absurd and even funny thing in this case is that the small company of the guards, with almost no experience in construction, hired the largest Bulgarian construction company Glavbolgarstroy as a subcontractor.

In 2019, INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION AD won a huge part of the announced railway tenders of the National Railway Infrastructure Company - NRIC for hundreds of millions. Only for the "modernization" of 37 km of railway from Orizovo to Mihaylovo at the end of 2019, the guards collected 260 million BGN, and the construction activities were delayed by more than a year. Meanwhile, at the beginning of 2020, Vasil Vasilev and Dario Stoev left the AD and were replaced by two others, probably the next "fuses", clarifies Mediapool. The headquarters of the company remains at its old address: Sofia 1700, 85 Simeonovsko Shosse Blvd., letter 3, entrance B, according to PAPAGAL.BG. /the building is owned by Vasil Vasilev/

At the above address, dozens more companies are registered with staff of 2 to 4 people - RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION EOOD, VASILEV TRADE GROUP EOOD, Bul Techno Trade OOD, ES VI DI GROUP AD, DV STROY CONSULT EOOD, EVO TRANS INTERCAR OOD, STROY INVEST IMOTI EOOD, SOF AUTO TRANS EOOD, STROY RENT BUILD EOOD, STROYKERAMIKA OOD, EVOLUTION INVESTMENTS OOD... Enough to make your head spin.

Obviously, we are talking about a large-scale scheme for "absorption", to put it mildly, of hundreds of millions from EU FUNDS, from the state and from the municipalities. The EUROPEAN PUBLIC PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE has already started an investigation into probable misuse of EU funds /see "Laura Kovesi investigates a company close to Boyko Borisov"/

Railway infrastructure is recognized as the backbone of the economy and a strategic element of national security. Its construction, maintenance and modernization is a high-tech process requiring enormous experience, special knowledge and expertise. It is inadmissible, even criminal, to abuse security and quality in railway construction and its financing - to the attention of SANS, NRA and the Bulgarian Prosecutor's Office
