He had been facing criminal investigation, the General insisted, but there is no data on indictment and court proceedings in this case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Atanasov expressed concern that Siderov may have been recruited as a collaborator of the secret services and they had lifted criminal responsibility from him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A detailed investigation of the newspaper 168 hours fully confirmed General Atanasov\u2019s information for an investigation, but found no track record of an indictment and lawsuit against Siderov.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Information from the filing registry and term book of the Sofia District Court, discovered by Bivol, proves unequivocally that the investigation has concluded with an indictment against Siderov and that a lawsuit was launched.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">(The case boils down to Siderov, back during the time of the Communist regime, illegally appropriating \u2013 stealing a camera from the photographer and then blackmailing him for the substantial for this time amount of 1000 levs to return it.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Registries do not give information on how the case concluded and whether Siderov received a suspended sentence. The fact that the presidential candidate in 2007 and 2011 has a document for clean criminal record means that Siderov has not effectively served a jail sentence.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">[nggallery id=5]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The leader of Ataka and presidential candidate Volen Siderov has been accused of extortion in 1984, reveal records of the Sofia District Court.
