Not only are the additional new suspects mentioned in the Racket scandal not being interrogated or charged, today the Bar Association said it won’t begin a procedure against lawyer Vasil Dimiskov, who was named as part of the extortion ring.
Witnesses Jordan and Ana Kamcevi testified that Dimiskov was an intermediary in extortion. He is the brother of judge Vesna Dimiskova, who was assigned to the “Empire” money laundering case started against Jordan Kamcev by the Special Prosecutor’s Office. Kamcev testified that Dimiskov approached him on behalf of his sister and offered him to have the case against him thrown out in exchange for a bribe of between 2 and 8 million EUR.
Kamcev refused the request coming from the brother of his judge, but later paid 1.5 million EUR to Special Prosecutor Katica Janeva. The Bar Association was asked by the Lider news site whether it plans to begin some kind of a disciplinary procedure against Vasil Dimiskov, who remains an active lawyer. The response was that it won’t make a move until Dimiskov is charged and brought before the court, so for the time being he will remain a lawyer.
