The nickname Pascal brings back unpleasant memories. I first came across this name in 1997. I received an application for a duty free warehouse. This was explained in the program “120 minutes” on bTV by the former director of Svilengrad Customs, Georgi Shishkov, regarding the upheavals in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Customs Agency in recent weeks.
“My troubles started after the refusal,” revealed Shishkov.
“After a few days, a similar request came from Sofia, from Elka Vladova, the head of customs at the time, under the authority to authorize. The request did not come in the proper order, but from a customs official. I refused again. They gave me ten days to give permission, I in ten seconds I refused.
After the refusal, I had a head-on collision with Mrs. Vladova. Some people showed me pictures with her and the powerful politicians of the day. They tell me – look at what kind of people he knows. But I knew them too. And they fired her,” he recalled, showing the application.
“Dimitar Mitev – the former first secretary of the BKP in Svilengrad and Nikola Nikolov – Pascal. Their names were in the application for permission in question. The other company belongs to Aleksey Petrov. This is how this channel, broken up a year later, began to take shape. To date it is clear how the preparation of a whole channel begins. A very long preparation,” he said.
“At first I didn’t believe that Bankova was capable of this. The entire system at customs is now electronic. The truck steps on the scales, the camera immediately comes to Sofia and the customs intelligence already knows what the truck is.
However, they claim that the truck has been coming in and out of the system. That’s my hypothesis. In my opinion, the Pascal in question does not have the capacity to organize the whole scheme. He has always stuck to the Dimitrovs in question, he is connected to them. I’ve only seen him at one wedding. He seemed stupid to me, so as not to offend him”, the former head of customs “Svilengrad” also pointed out.
“Questionable reforms in the services have been chewed over for a long time. But each time only words remain. If they want, it will not be a problem to capture Pascal,” adds Shishkov.
