At the signal of the co-chairs of "Yes, Bulgaria" Ivaylo Mirchev and Bozhidar Bozanov, the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office has initiated pre-trial proceedings due to potential significant discrepancies in the declared income of the leader of "DPS-New Beginning" Delyan Peevski, the party's press center announced, BTA reports.
The signal was sent in September to the Commission for the Confiscation of Illegally Acquired Assets (CIA), the National Revenue Agency (NRA) and the Prosecutor General.
The document claims that the leader of "DPS-New Beginning" Delyan Peevski has declared more dividends than his companies pay him and the institutions should verify this.
The information that Bozhidar Bozhanov and Ivaylo Mirchev refer to is publicly available, the party adds.

In October 2025 Ivaylo Mirchev and Bozhidar Bozanov went to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to seek answers in connection with signals they sent about the chairman of the MRF Delyan Peevski, but a meeting with the acting chairman of the commission Anton Slavchev did not take place.
"We have sent signals to the ACC and the prosecutor's office in connection with Delyan Peevski for his "compromising bank", with which he holds, threatens, and blackmails politicians, magistrates, ministers, and for the discrepancy between his property status and the declarations he submitted, with the difference being about 100,000,000 leva," Bozanov specified.
