Bulgaria Prosecutors have submitted two volumes of new evidence in the case against alleged top criminal boss Krasimir Marinov aka The Big Marguin.

It was also announced Thursday that all the anonymous witnesses in his trial have now been heard by a judge. This became clear at the Sofia Appellate Court, where it will be decided Thursday, behind closed doors, whether to rescind last Sunday’s decision to grant Marinov bail.

Marinov was released on bail last Sunday by Sofia City Court after charges were raised against him for being the boss of an organized crime group involved with the distribution of drugs.

This was the second significant charge against Krasimir Marinov in several days which was not upheld by the court: Marinov has been charged with plotting the murder of controversial journalist Bobi Tsankov, who was shot dead in Sofia on January 5, 2010, but the court rejected the demand of the prosecutors that he be left behind bars.

Krasimir’s brother Nikolay aka The Little Marguin is still being searched for by police in connection with both cases.
