The Bulgarian legislative authorities have received by the Serbian Prosecutor's Office information concerning a 2004 assassination of a Bulgarian mafia boss.

This was announced by Serbian pundits on Tuesday.

The Bulgarian police believes that Sreten Josic, a 48 year-old Serbian drug lord, currently imprisioned in Serbia, has ordered the public murder of Bulgarian mafia boss Milcho Bonev a.k.a. Baj Mile in June 2004.

According to testimony, given in court by one of Josic's associates back in 2009, Josic has ordered Bonev's assassination in order to take control over illegal drug traffic channels.

Baj Mile was believed to be an important link in the drug trafficking and distributing network on the Balkans, investigated by Bulgarian and Serbian special services.

Sreten Josic has also been linked to the assassinations of the murky Bulgarian businessmen Poli Pantev, who was killed in 2001 in Aruba; Konstantin Dimitrov a.k.a. Samokovetsa, shot dead in broad daylight in Amsterdam in 2003; and Ivan Todorov - Doctora, who met his death in 2006 in downtown Sofia.
