During a joint operation of the State Agency for National Security (DANS), Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Communications Regulatory Commission (KRS) in the capital district “Dragalevtsi“ was detected and neutralized an extremely powerful GPS jammer. The equipment, probably an anti-drone system, was installed on the roof of the fortified complex. It suppressed frequencies on the territory of Sofia, creating interference for flights at Sofia Airport, passing planes and television towers. The object of the action is the famous Greek restaurant “Kelari“ on “Cherni Vrah“ Blvd., which is unofficially associated with the emblematic figures of the underworld Christophoros Amanatidis – Taki and Razmig Chakaryan – Ami.
Developments in the case: What has been revealed since last night?
After the start of the searches in the late afternoon on Friday, the action of the services turned into a large-scale operation in the country, revealing mafia conspiracy:
- Secret corridors and tunnel: According to information from bTV, NOVA and BNT, during the searches in the guarded complex in Dragalevtsi, investigators discovered numerous secret corridors and underground tunnel connecting the restaurant to a house of the complex.
- Searches of Kapitan Andreevo: The operation continues at various addresses in Sofia and the area of village of Kapitan Andreevo. Checking property used by Razmig Chakaryan – Okay.
- Attempt to destroy evidence: When the police arrived at the property near Kapitan Andreevo, security guards made an unsuccessful attempt to remove and dispose of equipment (including DVR devices), which was seized for analysis. Weapons and radios were also confiscated.
- Position of the establishment: The managers of the restaurant Nikolay Ivanov and Angel Yordanov announced that no such device was found in the premises itself and the restaurant continues to operate normally. Transport Minister Georgi Peev confirmed to bTV that the source has already been localized and neutralized, as there was no real danger to flight safety due to ground navigation.
Where is the businessman now and are there any threats to his life? his?
Security sources quoted by leading media outlets reveal dramatic details about the personal security of key figures associated with the complex:
- Location of the persons: According to unofficial information on Bird.bg and sources from the Ministry of Interior, at the time of the action Razmig Chakaryan – Well, he is outside the borders of Bulgaria. He is believed to be abroad (most likely in Dubai), where his close business partner Christoforos Amanatidis – Taki has also resided for years. The very fact that the complex is empty explains the lack of high-level arrests during the searches.
- Direct threats to life: According to operational data from SANS, the installation of such expensive, powerful and illegal military equipment was undertaken due to serious and specific threats to the businessman's life. The underworld is undergoing a massive redistribution of zones of influence following the murder of Krasimir Kamenov – Karo in South Africa. Sources claim that Ami had a well-founded fear that he might become the next target of a contract killing.
- Paranoia of drone strikes: The threat of a remote explosives attack using quadcopters is very real. The use of anti-aircraft and anti-drone equipment turned the Dragalevtsi complex into a real private military bunker, aimed at neutralizing possible air strikes while the bosses are in Bulgaria.
Political protections: An institutional umbrella for millions
The revelations surrounding the Dragalevtsi complex and the rapid expansion of the campaign towards the border have once again put on the agenda the issue of the long-standing political protections and institutional umbrella over the individuals involved:
- Политически връзки на „Капитан Андреево“: Частният монопол над фитосанитарния контрол и дезинфекцията („златната локва“) просъществува на границата повече от десетилетие, независимо от смяната на различни правителства. През годините редица разследвания и политически партии сочеха, че този мащабен паричен поток е захранвал черни каси и е осигурявал логистичен и финансов комфорт на влиятелни фигури в политиката.
- Чадър в МВР и прокуратурата: Самият факт, че в строго охранявания комплекс е работело военно заглушително устройство, което е застрашавало националната сигурност и полетите над София, говори за пълно усещане за безнаказаност. Публична тайна в кулоарите на парламента е, че мрежите на Таки, Ами и Пепи Еврото са имали десетки информатори на високи нива в МВР и тайните служби, които са ги предупреждавали за предстоящи проверки.
- Бизнес влияние и влияние върху избори: Оперативни данни често свързват структурите около „Капитан Андреево“ с купуване на гласове в Хасковския и Софийския регион. Тези зависимости обясняват защо държавата реагира толкова закъсняло спрямо нарушенията в тези обекти.
Бизнес, минало и скандали: Какво свързва ресторанта, Ами, Таки, Пепи Еврото и „Локвата“?
Проверяваният комплекс има дълга криминална история и се явява пресечна точка на едни от най-големите скандали в държавата през последните години:
- Бягството на Петьо Петров – Пепи Еврото: Комплексът в Драгалевци разполага с десетки явни и тайни изходи. Според разследващия сайт Bird.bg, именно през един от тези тайни подземни тунели безследно изчезналият бивш шеф на столичния инспекторат Петьо Петров – Еврото успя да се измъкне и да избяга, когато ГДБОП и прокуратурата дойдоха да го задържат през май 2023 г. Това е поредното доказателство за изтичане на информация от службите към проверяваните.
- The connection with the checkpoint “Captain Andreevo“ and “The Golden Puddle”: Border raids are not random. The name of Razmig Chakaryan – Well, for years it was directly associated with the monopoly on phytosanitary control and the so-called “golden puddle“ (the mandatory disinfection of cars) on the border with Turkey. This private business on the state border generated millions and became the cause of large-scale political upheavals, investigations and legal battles to return state control.
- The action against Karo: In May 2023, in the same restaurant “Kelari“ there was another ostentatious special action of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The then Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev announced that it was related to the investigation into the ostentatious murder in South Africa of Krassimir Kamenov – Karo.
What did the businessman need this device for?
Security experts, quoted by BGNES, and analysts comment on two main and extremely serious versions:
- Drone attack protection: This is the leading hypothesis. The use of drones for precision assassinations or detailed reconnaissance is a reality in the underworld. Since drones rely on satellite positioning, the powerful anti-drone system on the roof of the complex literally "blinds" any approaching drone within a wide radius, protecting the bunker's occupants.
- CPC Blocking and Tracking: The presence of figures of the magnitude of Taki and Ami, combined with secret tunnels and meeting rooms, requires complete conspiratoriality. Such a military jammer stops any attempts by the Ministry of Interior, the National Security Agency or competing structures to track mobile phones, cars or use location transmitters (GPS trackers) during the secret meetings in Dragalevtsi.
The investigation into the case continues, with the National Security Agency analyzing the seized data and video recordings to establish how long the equipment has been operating and who will bear criminal responsibility for endangering national security and the frequency spectrum of the capital.
