Varna parliamentarian Nikoleta Todorova of “Progressive Bulgaria” announced she will formally request an update from the prosecution regarding the status of an ongoing investigation into large-scale property fraud. The inquiry centers on allegations involving associates and proxies of Daniel Slavov, known as Dido Dankata, and singer Geri-Nikol. According to the declaration, the case involves the acquisition of hundreds of decares of land in the Varna region through forged 1944 notary deeds.
Status of the Investigation
The legal proceedings began in 2024, involving specialized operations, search and seizure warrants, and the detention of several individuals. According to Todorova, while the state prosecution has been working on the case for months, there has been no visible result. The investigation was previously transferred to the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office, yet the lack of a formal indictment has prompted calls for institutional accountability.
Why the Case Matters
Nikoleta Todorova stated that if the allegations are proven, the case would represent one of the most significant property frauds in Bulgaria. The scheme reportedly affects municipal, state, and private land, raising concerns about potential institutional negligence or the existence of a “political umbrella” protecting those involved. The public outcry follows a journalistic investigation by Genka Shikerova, which brought the scale of the alleged irregularities to light.
What May Happen Next
The “Progressive Bulgaria” parliamentary group intends to submit formal questions to the prosecution to clarify why no clear result has emerged despite numerous procedural actions. Potential next steps include an explanation of the current status of the investigation and a timeline for when an indictment might be filed in court. The outcome will likely determine whether individuals in positions of influence will face formal charges or if the investigation will continue without public resolution.
