Earlier in the present day a reader reached out with an attention-grabbing discover:
What you’re are Bulgarian singers Alisia & Тoni Storaro, selling their new single “Полудях”.
The music video for Полудях was uploaded to YouTube on July seventh…
…and it was shot at Ruja Ignatova’s Sozopol mansion.
Ignatova, founding father of the infamous OneCoin Ponzi scheme and on the FBI’s high 10 most wished checklist, spent $2.5 million constructing her Sozopol mansion again in 2017.
Ignatova disappeared in October 2017, however development on her Sozopol mansion continued all through 2018.
So how on Earth did Ruja Ignatova’s mansion wind up in a 2023 Bulgarian music video?
One would suppose if Ignatova had deserted the property it will be considerably dilapidated after 5 years however that’s clearly not the case.
In my seek for solutions I got here throughout Alisia Storaro’s Instagram publish selling the video:
On the backside of the publish “The Lodge Luxurious Villa Sozopol” was tagged.
The Lodge Luxurious Villa is what Ruja Ignatova’s mansion now goes by and, as of early 2022, the property is rentable.
Ignatova’s mansion has had its personal “reserving.com” entry since September 2022. Bookings begin at ~$1200 USD an evening – there aren’t any opinions.
Or you’ll be able to ebook Ignatova’s home immediately from its personal web site, arrange over at “thelodgevilla.bg”.
Perched on a cliff, on a secluded bay in one in all our most well-known seaside resorts, Sozopol, The Lodge Luxurious Villa welcomes its company for a novel expertise… unknown till now.
Surrounded by sea and freedom, it is able to supply every thing you’re searching for, wanting, eager for.
We’ve chosen the place for you – an ideal mixture of premium area and actual luxurious! Fully self-contained and indifferent, the villa permits for absolute privateness.
The Lodge Luxurious Villa even has its personal FaceBook profile, created in April 2022.
So who’s cashing in on renting out a mansion final recognized to belong to a member of the FBI’s High 10 Most Needed Record?
Properly, you received’t discover any possession particulars on The Lodge Luxurious Villa’s web site or FaceBook web page.
The area “thelodgevilla.bg” was registered on April thirtieth, 2022. The listed proprietor of the area is “Holidayinvest 2009”.
This corresponds to Holidayinvest 2009 EOOD, a Bulgarian shell firm registered in January 2009.
Listed house owners of Holidayinvest 2009 EOOD are Kiril Ivanov Yovnov, Ivan Kirov Yovnov. Georgi Nikolov Atanasov was listed as a managing accomplice sooner or later.
Who’re these individuals?
No concept.
One thing else we get from The Lodge Luxurious Villa’s web site area registration is an e-mail tackle hosted at “big97.com”. This area redirects to “big-bg.com”, owned by Bulgarian Industrial Group.
Bulgarian Industrial Group claims to be “a number one trade of engineers and designers.”
Why is Bulgarian Industrial Group tied to Ruja Ignatova’s Sozopol mansion?
Once more, no concept.
Sadly this was the restrict of what I used to be capable of confirm primarily based on publicly out there info I used to be capable of auto-translate.
From what collect, Holidayinvest 2009 EOOD manages accommodations and such. They got here up in a June 2023 Iskra article, as earlier house owners of a beachfront property bought by way of a “secret bidding” course of.
The way in which I see it, we’ve got two eventualities right here:
- Ruja Ignatova or somebody appearing on her behalf nonetheless owns the Sozopol mansion, and is profiting off of renting it out; or
- Holidayinvest 2009 EOOD bought the mansion off Ignatova or somebody representing her property.
Each scenations are problematic.
With respect to state of affairs one, Ruja Ignatova is a wished fugitive. The FBI, Interpol and Europol all have warrants out for her arrest.
State of affairs two is problematic in that Ruja Ignatova famously disappeared in October 2017.
Building on the Sozopol mansion continued into 2018, that means it needed to of been bought after Ignatova disappeared. Who signed off on that and who was the monetary beneficiary?
When you’re questioning why Bulgarian authorities haven’t investigated these leads, it’s as a result of OneCoin operates underneath the safety of Bulgarian authorities
To today OneCoin nonetheless operates brazenly from the unique Sofia places of work Ruja Ignatova bought again in 2015.
OneCoin’s Sofia workplace is run by Bulgarian nationwide Georgi Georgiev.
Georgiev is believed to work for organized crime pursuits in Bulgaria and overseas.
