There is no evidence that Dimitar Lyubenov, who caused the Sofia ring road accident, used the services of Drink and Drive.
This was reported to NOVA by sources from the investigation. Yesterday, the defense for the accident that killed a Frenchman said officials prevented him from using the services of another driver even though he was drunk.
His tests later showed 1.73 parts per million and cocaine in the blood.
Dimitar Lyubenov’s lawyer: he was forced to drive by officials
According to NOVA sources, Dimitar Ljubenov got into his powerful car straight from the restaurant. And not because his defense claims that a Drink and Drive driver was stopped by police officers on the road.
A NOVA team searched for Lyubenov’s wife, who announced that she regularly uses the services of that company. She has provided a screenshot sent by her husband with the company whose services she uses. The manager of the company in question denied that he was employed by him on the day of the accident.
“He used us as a favor, in fact. But in this case he didn’t call. There’s no way to hide it. There are prints. In this case, he saved about BGN 20. I can’t answer if he called other services. Di he is certainly not with us “, explained Krasimir Malinov.
The Prosecutor: The statements of the Minister of the Interior do not correspond to the truth
According to NOVA sources, Lyubenov was most likely stopped by a patrol from the “Sixth District”. However, there are no cameras along the way. The police car did not escort his Porsche, they are categorically aware of that. The patrol was moving in the local lane. Both law enforcement officers – a man and a woman – witnessed the fatal confrontation in which a French citizen died.
According to “24 Chasa”, confirmed by our sources, policewoman Lyubka Gecheva is being investigated in connection with the case. Instead of assisting, the police left the scene of the incident, sources told NOVA.
“I admit that this squad of policemen who moved with or parallel to the crashed car performed such a function more than once: guarding the people who have money. In my opinion, this is a sustainable relationship,” said the Prof. Nikolay Radulov.
The case led to another confrontation between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor’s Office. The interim interior minister said the interior ministry requested, but the prosecutor refused to detain the two police officers.
“After the supervising attorney became aware of the materials, he did not allow the agents to take these actions. He took control of the investigation in question and warned us that we should not publicize the data so as not to hinder the investigation,” he said. Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev affirmed.

The Attorney General replied today that the minister had been misled with false information.
“A prosecutor has no such powers and cannot prohibit such a thing. Apparently, someone has deceived the Minister of the Interior with false information. There is a separate preliminary prosecution for a crime in the service of police officers.” Said Ivan Geshev.
Yesterday the court left Dimitar Ljubenov in permanent custody.
