Second arrest in the Ilian Filopov murder case in Pazardzhik

Pazardzhik received a new development in the case of businessman Ilian Filipov's murder after another person was detained in connection with the investigation. The arrest was carried out in the regional center, where several procedural investigations were also conducted, including searches of various addresses.

At this time, the authorities have not provided official information about the specific role of the newly detained person in the crime. It is recalled that days ago Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev pointed out that the investigation is not limited to the first arrest and that additional actions are being taken to clarify all circumstances surrounding the attempt.

The investigation began after the showy shooting of the Plovdiv-based entrepreneur, as on September 30 in Sofia 51-year-old Slavycho Megerov was arrested. According to the minister, the evidence collected so far points to Megerov being the physical perpetrator, while the detainee in Pazardzhik is known to law enforcement with a rich criminal past.

While work continues on the version of the physical perpetrator operating alone, the new arrests direct attention to possible accomplice or logistical support. The police continue to examine the motives for the crime and study all financial and personal relationships of the victim to clarify the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
