A joint-statement from Bulgarian and US authorities has revealed plans for the Bulgarian Prosecutor’s Workplace to cost Ruja Ignatova in absentia.
The FBI can also be upping its bounty on info that results in Ignatova’s arrest to $5 million.
As reported by Novinite on June twenty sixth;
At a joint press convention within the Courthouse, Chief Prosecutor Borislav Sarafov, US Ambassador Kenneth Merten, and State Company “Nationwide Safety” Head Plamen Tonchev outlined the collaboration between Bulgaria and the US in investigating felony actions associated to OneCoin.
The specifics of the costs in opposition to Ignatova below Bulgarian regulation weren’t disclosed through the convention, which didn’t embody a Q&A session with journalists.
The announcement coincides with the FBI upping its earlier $250,000 bounty on Ignatova to $5 million.
The USA Division of State’s Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program is providing a reward of as much as $5 million for info resulting in the arrest and/or conviction of Ruja Ignatova.
Ruja Ignatova is the founding father of OneCoin, a multi-billion greenback MLM crypto Ponzi. OneCoin collapsed in 2017 and Ruja Ignatova hasn’t been seen since she disappeared in October that 12 months.
Main theories are that the Bulgarian mafia had Ignatova murdered on a yacht, or that she’s hiding in Dubai or Russia.
The elephant within the room for Bulgarian authorities is OneCoin’s nonetheless operational headquarters in Sofia. A BehindMLM reader noticed the workplaces this week and supplied an fascinating account.
Possession has been divested into shell firms with “new house owners and managers” however the firms are nonetheless
linked straight or by way of proxies to Ruzha Ignatova throughout One Coin’s growth.
Urgent prices in opposition to somebody in absentia is straightforward. Personally I gained’t consider Bulgarian authorities are taking OneCoin critically until the Sofia workplace is shut down.
That and investigating and urgent prices in opposition to Christophoros Amanatidis-Taki, a Bulgarian nationwide hiding in Dubai.
If Ruja Ignatova is lifeless, Taki, reported to be the pinnacle of the Bulgarian mafia, is believed to have ordered the hit.
Taki is suspected of being the first beneficiary of the billions laundered by way of OneCoin that stay unaccounted for.
If Ruja Ignatova is alive, Taki, together with Frank Schneider, Ignatova’s private spy-master and a wished fugitive, are believed to know the place she is.
