“Kempessa” has a long rap sheet for burglary and theft of an estimated BGN 1.5 M total. He is believed to have robbed a bank in the southern city of Blagoevgrad.

Tsvetanov says the operation started last week, but the probe took over four months, and praised the policemen for being able to catch a long-time wanted criminal, committing large-scale robberies.
