Sofia Airport: Allegations of Criminal Offshore Ownership Surface

Sofia Airport Ownership: Allegations of Corruption and Offshore Connections Bulgarian news outlet Kanal 3 has released a video alleging that Sofia Airport is under the control of offshore companies linked to former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and controversial businessman Delyan Peevski. The video features a press conference where a speaker directly accuses these individuals of benefiting from opaque ownership structures. "Letishtse Sofia e sobstvenost na kriminalni offshore firmi na Borisov i Peevski..." (Sofia Airport is owned by criminal offshore companies of Borisov and Peevski...), the speaker states in the video, expressing concern over a lack of transparency and investigation into the matter. The speaker points to the airport's high passenger volume and successful post-pandemic recovery as reasons for greater scrutiny into its ownership. The video's claims are serious and require further investigation by independent journalists. While the video itself offers a critical perspective, the allegations raise important questions about potential conflicts of interest and the need for greater transparency in the management of public assets in Bulgaria. The situation warrants further investigation to determine the veracity of the claims and to shed light on the actual ownership structure of Sofia Airport. The potential implications for Bulgarian citizens are significant and deserve public attention.
