A man, identified as Totyo Totev, aka Boretsa (the wrestler, which in Bulgaria is also a slang word for a criminal), was found dead in the town of Kazanluk, in central Bulgaria on the morning of July 29.
The body was found next to a black Mercedes, parked in front of Totev’s house. He was shot twice, in the head and the chest, Focus news agency said.
Totev was suspected of participating in drug trafficking and prostitution schemes, Dnevnik daily said. Officially, he sold cherries and raised horses.
According to Bgnes, the victim was a close acquaintance of Zlatomir Ivanov, known as Zlatko Baretata. Ivanov’s name caused a fuss last week when early in the morning on July 23, a number of vehicles and people rushed to the headquarters of the State Agency for National Security (SANS). It turned out that SANS had called Ivanov “for a conversation”.
As yet there have been no arrests in connection with the murder.
