„Organized crime is developing much faster and better than the government spheres that should deal with it. It is very difficult to guess why Evelyn Banev – Brando does it this way – to come today and ask to surrender to Bulgarian justice”.
This is what former interior minister Emanuil Yordanov told NOVA.
My memory is that Evelyn Banev-Brendo became famous together with Ivan Todorov – The doctor at a time when I had already returned to my profession as a lawyer, he explained.
„By law, the Bulgarian court must say whether the foreign sentence will be executed in Bulgaria or not. The second answer is given when there is a certain violation of the law, said Yordanov. He does not think that Banev's main reason for surrendering to Bulgarian justice was any threat to his life. “It doesn't sound like the most likely version to me. We all know that various incidents often happen in prisons and other places of imprisonment, Yordanov added.
„I don't think he is that naive and if they are looking for him for something serious, they won't find him in a Bulgarian prison,” added the former interior minister.
