Who is "Svetlyo", who according to Georgi Kandev is organizing the pressure on him?

In his statement today, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Georgi Kandev spoke about a former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the first name "Svetlyo", who organized the attempt to exert pressure on him in connection with a person nicknamed "Potato".

According to ACF sources, this is Svetlozar Lazarov - Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the period 2013 - 2015.

A photo published in March supports this information.

The photo shows Svetlozar Lazarov and Yulian Yankov - Kartofa, owner of the company “Unit Assist“. The investigation “Roadside Assistance“ by the ACF revealed that the company had illegally received millions of euros from the state in a scheme for illegal outsourcing of road maintenance activities.

Yankov has been convicted over 15 times and was rehabilitated immediately before the licensing of “Unit Assist“ to provide roadside assistance.

According to ACF sources, Lazarov and Yankov had regular meetings at the car wash owned by Kartofa, where the photo was taken.
