Ruzha Ignatova has been brought in as an accused by the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office . The charge against the crypto-queen is that over a period of 3 years, between 2014 and 2017, she led an organized criminal group for investment fraud. In our country, she has already been charged with money laundering. The possible crimes were committed during the same period, and they are related to multiple property transactions. In this way, an attempt was made to conceal the true origin of the funds. It is possible that Ignatova will be sentenced for a term of 5 to 15 years. 2 months ago, the US announced a reward of 5 million dollars for information about Ignatova.
The journalist and author of the book “Wancoin: the woman who deceived the world“ commented on the topic. Nikolay Stoyanov in “Your Day” on NOVA NEWS.
"It is difficult to accept that the Bulgarian prosecutor's office was the last to not understand what has been happening in the world in the last seven years. The most logical explanation is that it has some form of umbrella. The other thing is that we have the slowest services in the world”, said Stoyanov.
He pointed out that Bulgaria is taking action now, as it has been “pushed by the foreign services”. Stoyanov believes that the indictment of Ignatova could be a mechanism to proceed with the confiscation of property. “The third possible explanation is that the indictment of Ruzha Ignatova can be a rocket launcher for the indictment of various other persons related to the scheme,”, the journalist also believes. “A valid question for the prosecution is who are the other participants in the organized criminal group, are they accused, and if not – why aren't they accused”, Stoyanov also asked.
