Corruption and scandals

• Municipal land for his wife's company. Actualno.com, on a signal from the association Future for Yambol, founded with the participation of former mayor Georgi Slavov, writes that on 28.12.2023 the mayor submitted to the municipal council a request for the municipality to sell 1.3 decares (1,305 sq m) of municipal land, appraised by a licensed valuer at 145,100 lev or 111.19 lev per sq m, to his wife's company Rey EOOD. The article states that on 16.12.2022 two notarial acts were drawn up: by the first Petrol AD acquired 315.52 ideal parts of the land, by the second the mayor's wife Stoyanka Revanska bought the same land with its buildings from Petrol AD. According to the association, on 25.08.2022 Reneta Revanska, the wife of the mayor's brother and a chief expert in the Municipal Property directorate, drew up the municipal property deed listing Petrol AD as co-owner before it had a notarial act. For the earlier 315.52 sq m the wife's company had paid Petrol AD 130,000 lev, or 412 lev per sq m. The outlet reports that the municipal council stopped the sale, and according to the association the item was withdrawn from the agenda at its insistence and was not voted. The article carries no reply from the mayor. — Actualno.com, 29.12.2023
• Borovets park and the Valentin club. Faktor, citing Frognews.bg, writes that the mayor acquired the Borovets hotel-restaurant in 2008 through the family firm Sakarela OOD, and that about 6.5 decares of municipal land in the park are fenced and used by the complex free of charge. The association Future for Yambol claims that the detailed development plan, adopted with 20 votes in favour, turns these 6.5 decares into a new property attached to the hotel, which could be bought without a tender. The mayor, quoted by Faktor, says the procedure „урегулира имотите на всички собственици на имоти, намиращи се на територията на парка“ (our translation: regulates the properties of all owners of properties within the park). The Yambol District Prosecutor's Office refused to order a check on the signal about the fence, saying it was outside its competence, and passed it to RDNSK Yambol. Frognews separately writes that the mayor's Valentin club is registered as a temporary movable facility of 252 sq m and pays 378 lev a month instead of 9,324 lev under the commercial-activity fee, according to the association's calculations; according to the text the difference is 107,350 lev a year. On signals to the prosecution, the Yambol District Prosecutor's Office closed the file and the Burgas Appellate Prosecutor's Office upheld the decision. RDNSK Yambol found that the club cannot be treated as a movable object but ordered a check of the legality of the construction by the municipality, which the mayor runs. — Faktor, 28.06.2023, Frognews.bg, 05.07.2023
