Криминална хроника

Scheduled for March 24, 2005. A criminal case against Fidel Beev was melted at the very beginning. The accused of a crime on the service excmet of the municipality of Velingrad appeared in the courtroom together with Stoyan Dulev, but without a lawyer. I have not been summoned on time, I have not become acquainted with the indictment, I have not been able to engage a lawyer, said the defendant F. Beev.
According to the district judge, a summons to the court served a summons to F. Beev on March 15, but he refused to accept her. Beev, however, denied and accused the court of not having a witness to confirm that he refused. The subpoena was served on March 21, at the release of F. Beev from the courtroom, in which on this date the case for the axing of the elections in Velingrad is heard. This happened after a court order the summons to be served by the judicial security authorities.
"From the very beginning of the defendant's conduct, it is clear that we have a very long trial ahead of us," was the comment of District Attorney Ivan Daskalov, who appeared in person in the courtroom as an accuser. He asked the court to take a look at whether Beev's summons was served on March 15, but admitted that the lack of counsel was a procedural obstacle to moving the case forward. The judge also stressed that he did not move the case not because of the term of service of the summons, but because of the lack of a lawyer. He imposed a fine of 300 leva on the regularly summoned Krasimir Beev, who did not appear at the meeting. "Next time, I'll bring him in myself," F said. Beev.
In the hall as witnesses were also present the deputy mayor Tanya Goncheva, the chief accountant of the municipality Hristo Savov, housewives of kindergartens, Plamen Georgiev from the winning public procurement for supply of fuels Sofia company Delta pertolium and the expert Dimitar Barakov. The municipality appeared with a lawyer, who announced that, in his capacity as an injured party, the municipality would file a claim against F. Beev for a refund.
The case was adjourned to 21 April 2005. Mr. Beev's interest in delaying this particular trial is enormous (unlike the cassation case of the elections, where any procedural delay is loudly anathematized by F. Beev including with threats of international scandal). A conviction in a criminal case would be an insurmountable obstacle to his running for MP. The first procedural delay grip worked successfully, no doubt we will see more of these.

CASES AND DOCUMENTS
The inspection of the Economic Police, the Investigation and the Prosecutor's Office in the case of the supply of fuels for the Municipality of Velingrad by SD "Brothers Beevi" started in the summer of 2004. Numerous witnesses were questioned, and in early November, District Attorney Ivan Daskalov announced that the indictment was ready and would request a trial. Procedural appeals by F followed. Beev and nearly four months later, the trial was still scheduled for March 24, 2005. As mayor of the municipality of Velingrad in 2004. Fidel Beev is accused under two articles of the Criminal Code: art. 220, para. 2 and art. 282, para. 1.
Article 220 refers to officials who knowingly enter into disadvantageous transactions with significant damage. Mr. Beev is accused that as mayor, he has concluded a disadvantageous deal for the municipality of Velingrad for the supply of fuels by SD "Brothers Beevi". According to the indictment, the municipality was harmed by BGN 16,352 for the supply of fuel by Beevi's company. In the offer with which they participated in the concession for public procurement for the supply of fuels, SD "Brothers Beevi" has indicated a price of 0.80 BGN/l. But a few days after the inauguration of F. Beev in the position of mayor, in February 2004, SD "Brothers Beevi" started charging municipal educational institutions by selling the fuel at prices of 1.14-1.17 BGN/l. The deal between the municipality and the private firm is formed as a "loan contract". This avoids the lower price of the offer, and does not force the then Mayor F. Beev to conclude a contract with himself (at that time he did not come out as a partner from the Beevi Brothers SD). Article 282 of the Penal Code treats crimes on duty committed by an official who violates or fails to perform his duties or exceeds his rights in order to procure a benefit and thus cause pecuniary harm. Mr. Beev has been held liable under this article, as kata in his capacity as mayor has violated the Public Procurement Act. The public procurement for the supply of fuels for the municipality was conducted by the temporary mayor A. Toporchev in November 2003. and was won by the Sofia-based company Delta Petroleum. On 28 January 2004. F. Beev became mayor, on February 3, 2004. SD Beevi Brothers challenged the competition by court order and stopped it. Under the PPA in this situation, deliveries must be made by the previous supplier under the public procurement - again "Delta petrium", which has also charged the municipality in 2003. (Analog is currently the situation with the public procurement for winter maintenance of the roads, on which a company of Mr. Beev works as a previous contractor of the order). But instead of continuing charging from the Sofia firm, municipal sites began charging from a company of Mayor Beev. According to him, Delta refused to charge, but the position of the Sofia supplier will become clear in the course of the case. Fuel deliveries to the municipality by Beev's companies continued under the management of the interim mayor Stoyan Dulev. The penalties provided for under the two articles of the NC provide for up to 5 and up to 10 years of imprisonment. The court may also rule deprivation of the right to hold a certain state and public office, as well as to exercise a certain profession or activity.
