The Tsarevo Municipal Council is to discuss the report on Friday, August 24. If it is approved, the coastal community will face a scandal comparable to that around &#8220;Golden Pearl&#8221; &#8211; the demolished illegal vacation village near Varvara, as the decision will be taken in breach of the law.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42603\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/silistar-1.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42603\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-42603\" src=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/silistar-1-300x289.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/silistar-1-300x289.png 300w, https:\/\/bivol.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/silistar-1-768x740.png 768w, https:\/\/bivol.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/silistar-1.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-42603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Lapchev\u2019s report<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is because besides being located in Park Strandja and Natura 2000 and requiring an opinion of the Ministry of the Environment and Waters (MOEWs), the investment project violates an ordinance of the Ministry for Regional Development and Public Works (MRDPW) not to approve a PUP before the adoption of a Master Plan (OUP) for the Tsarevo Municipality.<\/p>\n<p>The coastal property has not been planned for development in territorial plans dating from 1998 and 2008. According to the last proposed version of the plan from 2018, no construction of vacation homes is foreseen in the area of Silistar, only of campsites, caravans, cottages and tents. But this plan has not undergone an environmental assessment and assessment of compatibility with Natura 2000, as also confirmed by eco-activist and Chairman of the Association of Parks in Bulgaria, Toma Belev.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, the terrain has been used for the pig stalls of the former socialist-era cooperative farm, now in ruins. It is not a waterfront site, but it is located immediately behind properties acquired through illegal actions by persons and companies directly or indirectly connected with lawmaker Yordan Tsonev and architect Kalin Tiholov (see <a href=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/en\/new-land-use-master-plan-entitles-bulgarian-politician-to-build-on-coast.html\">here<\/a>), as Bivol\u2019s investigation revealed.

Dessislava Georgieva and Stefan Kemalov were co-managers of the company in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Kemalov&#8217;s shares in \u201cMegabuilding Group\u201d were seized by the Committee for Combating Corruption and Confiscation of Illegally Acquired Property, known as CONPI, after he was <a href=\"https:\/\/dariknews.bg\/novini\/bylgariia\/zadyrzhaha-bat-sali-pravil-falshivi-vinetki-219071\">arrested<\/a> in January 2008 in an operation against an organized crime group dealing with the fabrication of false IDs, false road tax stickers for trucks, elementary education diplomas and driving licenses. Later, the confiscation was revoked on appeal. Bivol did not find any information about an indictment against Kemalov. Apart from being a TV star, he has been a career politician linked to several political parties.<\/p>\n<p>Another partner of Dessislava Georgieva is the Russian national with a Cypriot passport <strong>Igor Rimmer<\/strong>, who emerged in Moldova and Bulgaria as an investor violating the environmental legislation. The two had been co-owners of the company \u201cPR Holding\u201d in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Rimmer first acted in Bulgaria with a Russian passport, and then with a Cypriot one. The financial publication <em>BANKER<\/em> weekly (www.banker.bg) mentions him as one of the most significant shadowy businessmen in our country in terms of the number of offshore companies.

The investigation also revealed that the Regional Inspectorate of the Environment and Waters (RIEWs) in the city of Blagoevgrad had issued a construction permit to the offshore millionaire on the grounds that the project &#8220;does not threaten the flora and fauna&#8221; in the area.<\/p>\n<p>A joint investigation by <em>RISE Moldova<\/em> and Bivol exposed Igor Rimmer\u2019s scheme in Moldova. The Cypriot had managed to acquire several hectares of land for agricultural purposes near the monastery of C\u0103priana with the help of his local partner, Boris Done\u021b. Throughout a number of Moldovan institutions, Done\u021b then managed to change the status of the land from farming to a right to build, although it is in a protected area.<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rise.md\/articol\/cartier-de-clasa-lux-in-rezervatia-capriana\/\">undercover<\/a> journalist from <em>RISE Moldova<\/em> even &#8220;arranged&#8221; the purchase of a future luxury villa from Rimmer and Done\u021b at a cheap rate because of the illegal use of workers whose insurance and taxes had not been paid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Express deal <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The chronology of the acquisition of the property and the processing of the investor&#8217;s file by the Tsarevo municipality show a strange urgency by the institutions. The request of \u201cNew Buildings Estates\u201d was submitted on July 5, 2018, and an extended Municipal Expert Council convened on the same day at 9:30 am with the participation of representatives of RIEWs Burgas, the Regional Health Inspectorate and the Regional Forrest Directorate, Water Supply Burgas and even the Navy. All voted unanimously for and with no objection to approving the construction in Silistar.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, \u201cNew Buildings Estates\u201d was not the owner of the property but had only concluded a preliminary contract with CIBank, which merged into UBB. The deal had not been certified by a notary until July 30, 2018, apparently after the future owner had become assured that there would be no obstacles to the realization of this project.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting fact is that the UBB&#8217;s proxy in the deal was the insurance agent Krum Yordanov Bivolarski. On August 1, 2018, the next day after the sale of the plot, his father Yordan Krumov Bivolarski acquired the right to build in a building of \u201cNew Building Properties\u201d. He paid only BGN 14,000 for an apartment of 60 square meters in the luxurious Malinova Dolina suburb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Urbanized Silistar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bivol studied the history of this property, now the site of the ruins of the socialist\u2019s pig farm. For many years it had been farmland, but by Order RD-18-38 from July 10, 2012 of the Executive Director of the Cadaster Agency, it became an urbanized area for other types of construction.<\/p>\n<p>The earliest owner of the property we found is the \u201cSilistar-South\u201d firm of the developer Plamen Beninski. In 2002, he sold it to \u201cEvrobul Bulgaria Holding\u201d for BGN 5,000.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear how \u201cSilistar-South\u201d had acquired the land prior to 2002, but the entry of the deal notes that the notary deed of \u201cSilistar-South\u201d had been &#8220;under paragraph 12&#8221;, which corresponds to a provision of the law on rights on land owned by the former cooperative farms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Evrobul Bulgaria Holding&#8221; had mortgaged the property at CIBank, which acquired it in 2015 through a public sale due to mortgage debts.
