Bulgarian Town to Sue 'Needy' Judge

The southern Bulgarian Black Sea town of Primorsko is an attractive location for summer tourism.

The Bulgarian Black Sea town of Primorsko will file a claim against judge Denitsa Urumova, who illegally obtained construction rights in the town, announced the Bulgarian National Radio Friday.

The goal is to revoke Urumova's construction rights.

Urumova is daughter of former Bulgarian Supreme Administrative Court Judge Nikolay Urumov

This spring it was revealed that three senior judges from the Supreme Administrative Court helped close relatives to obtain building rights for beach-front lots in Primorsko thanks to their acquired status of people on social benefits.

This has lead to the three judges being expelled from the Supreme Administrative Court. It was later revealed that a total of about 400 people on purported “social benefits” have similarly received rights to build in Primorsko.

Earlier in July Urumova posted a tongue-in-cheek proposal to the Primorsko municipality, saying she would give up the rights to the lot in return of more attractive land, given the fact she has already invested in construction and erected a building at the site.

Friday the town council in Primorsko rejected the proposal and voted in support of mayor Lilyana Dimova's vow to bring Urumova to court.
