Under the leadership of political leader Ahmed Dogan, Bulgartabac of Delyan Peevski has created a comprehensive financial, legal and logistical system for the production of cigarettes, which are officially shipped to legal destinations but are in fact smuggled into the Middle East - Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey. Terrorist organizations were funded by illegal trafficking.

Bulgartabac's smuggling system has branches mainly in Bulgaria, Dubai and a dozen strategic ports in the Black and Mediterranean Seas, as well as in the traditional channels of traffickers in the Middle East. This trafficking and non-transparent cigarette exports finance Kurdish structures in these countries, especially the PKK , although it is cited as a terrorist organization by Turkey, NATO and the European Union. The version that Islamic State is also funded by a percentage of this network is also credible. The criminal scheme is developing in the context of an extremely high level of intertwining between the mafia, the economic and political spheres.


These are part of the conclusions of a Secret Report of 58 pages, which can be dated to the end of 2016, beginning of 2017. The development is obviously the work of a powerful institutional / or private / intelligence structure with an impressive information resource and access to an unlimited array of sensitive commercial information. Buffaloobtained some time ago the report from reliable sources abroad. It took technological time to verify some details and data from the report in order to be able to confirm its status as a document and make it available for publication. Due to the specifics of the information and the protection of sources, the entire Report remains in the editorial office, and we reserve the right to use its information for professional expediency, in connection with our future investigations. .

In several places in the report, Boyko Borissov is mentioned by name as providing a political umbrella for the shady privatization of Bulgartabac by oligarchic Bulgarian entities and as a supposed beneficiary of this privatization.

Bulgartabac in the field of view of world intelligence​

So far, information on two reports with similar content has been published in the public domain, but specific developments of none of them have been published.

In 2017, the Turkish Organized Crime and Smuggling Service (KOM) sent a report to Interpol and SELEC on "products coming from the Bulgarian company Bulgartabac and becoming a source of smuggling in our country." The Bulgarian prosecutor's office then, under the leadership of Sotir Tsatsarov, refused to launch an investigation and demand the report in question. At the same time, a series of publications by Turkey's leading media outlets close to the government claimed that Ahmed Dogan and Delyan Peevski were banned from visiting Turkey. However, this information was not publicly confirmed through diplomatic channels by the Ankara authorities.

In 2019, a Bulgarian and a Romanian citizen were detained in Bulgaria on charges of blackmailing Delyan Peevski and Ahmed Dogan with a report entitled "Cigarette Smuggling, Its Financing of International Terrorist Organizations ." In this report there was a part of about 20 pages dedicated to Bulgaria, in which the names of Dogan and Peevski were mentioned. The report was to be sent to the European Parliament , but for 12 million euros the names of the politicians could be deleted - such was the offer of the extorted Dilyan Georgiev and Dorin Yordake. With the same charge, another Romanian living in France was declared wanted by a European arrest warrant.
