It is not my job to negotiate with the new owners of KTB, that is the state's problem.

We will condemn the state, and if it has the desire and will, let it seek compensation from the new owners, as well as from those who sold for nothing.

This was said by Tsvetan Vassilev, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of "Corporate Commercial Bank", in the program "This is Bulgaria" on Radio "Focus".

"For almost 2 years, in the end, at least in the executive branch, we have new persons who should not be directly related to the status quo. These persons were not at all interested in what was happening in KTB or rather in the bankruptcy of KTB. I am wrote a large report of over 100 pages with attached proven crimes of the bank's trustees. The then acting Prime Minister Stefan Yanev did not react to it, nor did the regular government after that," said the banker.

Tsvetan Vassilev will not be returned to Bulgaria

"My colleagues from the Bank's Board of Directors, Georgi Hristov and Georgi Zdravkov, wrote a number of reports on other crimes of the receivers - there was no reaction. We were told that, given the complex subordination of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, the Minister of Finance, to whom the Fund is subordinate - I guess you remember the fanfare with which the then Minister of Finance entered the KTB building together with the then head of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, and the current Deputy Governor of Banking Supervision Radoslav Milenkov, it turned out that all official, even regular ministers of finance, refused to investigate the activities of receivers. Regardless of our hard evidence of their criminal activity. And on top of that, the Credit Institutions Act allows the minister of finance to replace them,only he didn't do this work," explained Tsvetan Vassilev.
