According to the testimony of her grandson, Iliyan, she has been recruited by criminals from the northwestern Bulgarian city of Vratsa.<\/p>\n<p>The youngster was attacked around 9 p.m. on Thursday, September 21, in front of an apartment building in the Vratsa &#8220;Dubnika&#8221; district (Bivol\u2019s publication was released at 5 p.m.). He was ambushed a few meters from his home by a group of bouncers.<\/p>\n<p>One of them struck a heavy blow with an object on Iliyan&#8217;s head. He fell to the ground, and the attackers continued to beat him and kick him. As they did it, one of them repeatedly told Iliyan in a calm voice to keep silent and not speak anymore. The boy lost consciousness from the heavy blows.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors from the emergency room in Vratsa established that Iliyan had a broken arm and a lot of bruises. He is due to be certified Monday by the forensic medical practitioners and has filed a complaint with the police.<\/p>\n<p>Bivol immediately contacted the head of the Vratsa Regional Directorate of the Interior Ministry and asked the young man to be placed under a police watch. So far, however, there has been no reaction on the part of the authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Iliyan is an important witness in a serious case with a cocaine trafficking channel from South America to Europe, suspected of being under the auspices of high-ranking officials in the system of the Interior Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>The inactivity of the institution, after the Swiss authorities have informed it and after Bivol\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/en\/bulgarian-retiree-detained-with-cocaine-in-switzerland.html\">publication<\/a>, indirectly confirms these doubts.<\/p>\n<p>With this publication, we are addressing <strong>directly the Chief Secretary and the Minister of Interior<\/strong>, asking them to intervene and guarantee the life and safety of Iliyan and to initiate a procedure for launching pre-trial proceedings for an organized crime group (OCG).<\/p>\n<p>In the absence of a response from the institutions and persons we have approached, we will consider them responsible for the attacks against anyone who is threatened and\/or injured by the criminal group.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 320px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-35215-1\" width=\"320\" height=\"576\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ilian-poboi.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ilian-poboi.mp4\">https:\/\/bivol.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ilian-poboi.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shortly after Bivol published an investigation into a cocaine channel from South America to Europe, witness Iliyan Ivanov was brutally beaten.
