The text below is translated from Netinfo (http://www.netinfo.bg/?tid=40&oid=1042819, go there to see the photo of the murdered man). I won't comment, this is hardly needed. The town of Nesebar is a well-known Black Sea resort.
Dimitar Yankov, Chairman of the Nesebar Municipality Council, shot dead with 7 bullets
Tonight (May 10 - M.M.) at about 10 PM in the town of Burgas, the Chairman of the Municipality Council in Nesebar Dimitar Yankov was killed. He had intended to be nominated as a candidate mayor of the resort town at the local elections this autumn. He was found in his Porsche sport utility vehicle shot dead with seven bullets... The weapon, a Baykal handgun, was found in a nearby garbage bin...
Yankov was thought to be protecting the detained Nesebar drug-dealing boss Dimitar Zhelyazkov, nicknamed Mityo The Eyes. He was also a friend of the VIS group boss Georgi Iliev who was shot dead 2 years ago (the VIS group was active in organized crime - M.M.)...
The municipality council chairman was among the main suspects for the attempted murders of the former Mayor of Nesebar and the businessman Veselin Toshev, shot with six bullets... When in 1997 Yankov was said to have ordered the attempt to assassinate Zhivko Georgiev, Mayor at that time, he was arrested for a week and released on bail. After that, Petko Krumov, nicknamed The Cambodian, who had testified against Yankov, died in a fire while being protected by the police...
Yankov was among the richest hotel owners in Slanchev Bryag (a resort more important than Nesebar - M.M.)...
In a declaration, the members of the Municipality Council called the murder "not only a human tragedy but also an act against the foundations of democracy, the government and the local rule"... The Municipality of Nesebar announced a three-day mourning.
