“God forgive him, Mr. Naidenov. He was a great man, very soon we will place his urn either in the Boyana cemetery or in Dolni Bogrov, where his father’s bones are laid. The worship is over and his whole family is present – grandchildren “Darina Pavlova and the others. They did not want it to be understood that he died on February 24. Then we cremated him.”
This was said to “24 Chasa” by the closest in the last hours of Pavel Naidenov – the former deputy chairman of “Multigroup” – Georgi Petkov.
Pavel Naidenov’s death came after a stroke he suffered earlier this year. “Then he contracted a coronavirus and we took him to a hospice to be monitored. In the end, however, the worst happened. He was given oxygen until the end, but he died,” Petkov explained.
Pavel Naidenov’s last media appearance dates back to the beginning of 2022. In January, he gave an interview to Bulgaria Today, in which he said that his son Elijah had been killed in March 2003 by rivals.
Elijah began his career with my lessons, with the same order, with the same requirements and principles. For example, not touching other people’s money, state money. He was always around me from a young age. Then he also took action together. Therefore, even when he became the first Bulgarian billionaire, Iliya Pavlov was not dizzy. Money did not change him at all, “said Bai Pavel.
Iliya Pavlov’s father, Pavel Naidenov, worked in various Bulgarian embassies before 1989 as a chef. At the end of the 80’s he started a pub business. He has also worked in the field of catering.
In 2010, Naidenov experienced another family tragedy – his daughter Slavka and his grandson Paul, who was named after him, were killed in the United States.
“My daughter Slavka’s ex is involved in her murder! I’m sure of that, but I was not called to testify in the United States, otherwise I would have said that,” the father of the late Iliya Pavlov told us last time. Every year on February 1, he lit a candle for the deaths of his daughter Slavka and her child Paul Wilson, and ate nothing all day. “With fasting, it’s as if I’m getting closer to my child’s soul,” Naidenov said during his lifetime. He was adamant that if his son Iliya Pavlov had not been killed, he would have caught up with former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.
“A lot of people said that because they had common traits. I didn’t approve of his rapid growth because he wasn’t ready for serious steps yet. But Boyko is doing brilliantly, there has never been a man like him. He’s the bodyguard of I remember that years ago when the king came to us and Boyko became his bodyguard, we talked a lot. He then said: “When I sign the contract I give my life for the man I keep. This is not a joke. “But he also pays the price for success with a lack of privacy,” Naidenov said.
Regarding the distribution of “red suitcases”, Pavel Naidenov claimed: “As far as I know, Iliya Pavlov gave money to many people, but he took it from the banks. And because a large percentage of people spent the money and could not return it, he He took from the bank as an intermediary, so he may have had problems from there, and from a purely patriotic point of view he wanted to develop a business, but this did not happen. those who gave. That’s what happened to him, “said Pavel Naidenov. Until recently, he believed that the late Lyuben Gotsev was not the head of the mafia, as claimed. No, it’s not like that. He talked to these guys we taught at Olympic Hopes. A lot of them trusted him a lot, but he’s a man looking at antiquities. at his address, “Naidenov said.
At the age of 84, the businessman said he had never harmed people in his life. “All the children and grandchildren were in my head. I liked both daughters-in-law. Darina appeared after Antoaneta Chergilanova, his first wife. To say about her – he Elijah had no wife, then an officer, and her father was a general. Antoaneta was a tennis player and my son liked her, he’s four years older than him. But he was very influenced by the fact that her father was famous, he wanted to rise quickly in the system. His relatives told him: “Your father is more general than her “But he didn’t listen. And they got married. Venci appeared. They didn’t understand each other very much and they separated. Then Vencheto and I, my wife, talked to him a lot and he married Antoinette again. Twice. But things didn’t go well. And He happened to see Darina, her friend was dating his friend. They fell in love. He was 25. They got married. What I like about Darina is that she never separated the children, she was always their unifier and very good. bring them up – to earn their own money and be able. And now I can boast of good grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren, “he said. in one of his last interviews Pavel Naidenov.
