The Chief Prosecutor of Bulgaria is Accused of Willfully Not Acting Against Onecoin Fraudsters
Jonathan Levy is the legal representative for victims of the Onecoin scam. He accuses the Bulgarian prosecutor in failing to take action against Onecoin. According to Jonathan Levy, the lawyer claimed that more victims are being robbed of millions of dollars by the fraudsters because the prosecutor failed to act.
Prosecutor Refusing to Take Action Against Ruja Ignatova’s Mother
Jonathan Levy is a lawyer representing victims of Onecoin’s Ponzi scheme. He suggested that the chief prosecutor in Bulgaria, Ivan Geshev, may be protecting the criminal scheme’s leaders. The lawyer wrote an open letter to Yuliya Kvacheva, Bulgaria’s deputy minister for justice, claiming that Geshev’s inaction allowed Onecoin’s deception to continue to defraud millions of people.
According to Levy the prosecutor failed to take action against Ruja Ignatova, the Onecoin chiefmind, despite arrest warrants issued by Interpol and Europol as well as German law enforcement.
As previously reported by Bitcoin.com News, Ignatova was placed on Europol’s most wanted list after the law enforcement group accused her of being the driving force and intellectual inventor of Onecoin. The agency has since offered a reward of more than $5,300 to anyone with information that may lead to Ignatova’s capture.
Bulgarian Government Urged to Probe Chief Prosecutor
In a letter, Levy expresses dissatisfaction at Geshev’s conduct and accuses the prosecutor not only of failing to take action against Veska Ilgnatova (Ruja’s mother) but also of failing “other Onecoin mafia” in Bulgaria that continues the Onecoin criminal operation for Ruja Ignatova .”
The letter suggests that Onecoin masterminds might be forced to stop operations if Geshev takes action. He also added:
This nonfeasance by the Prosecutor’s Office is allowing the Sofia office of OneCoin to maintain operations throughout Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia and continue to receive millions of Euros in payments in cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, USDT) on a monthly basis from new victims.
Levy closes his letter by asking the Bulgarian government for an investigation into the conduct of the prosecutor.
