At the prosecutor’s office registry there are 25 case files and pre-litigation procedures connected with Martin Bozhanov a.k.a The Notary.

Bozhanov was a party to these case files and pre-litigation procedures which date back to 2004 – as defendant, appellant, witness.

• Martin “The Notary” Bozhanov was under investigation before he was murdered

Due to numerous refusals to open pre-litigation procedures, mostly by prosecutors from the Sofia regional prosecutor’s office, a review has been initiated of all acts with the aim of establishing the legality of the actions of the supervising magistrates, the prosecutor’s office has announced.
