Former majority owner of the collapsed Corporate Commercial Bank Tsvetan Vassilev has accused the leader of the parliamentary group of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms Delyan Peevski of racketeering. Vassilev made these claims on his personal blog, stating that he had sent these facts in a letter to Nadezhda Yordanova of "Yes, Bulgaria" and members of the National Assembly Ad Hoc Committee investigating the activities of groups linked to Petyo Petrov a.k.a. the Euro and Martin Bozhanov a.k.a the Notary.

According to Vassilev, ''the attack on CCB was preceded by racketeering from Delyan Peevski, which was also expressed in writing through his trusted lawyer, Alexander Angelov''. The racketeering began after Vassilev sought to end his business relations with Peevski.

During his online hearing in the committee, held in mid-August, Tsvetan Vassilev had announced that Peevski's debts to the bank amounted to 500 million leva. "I have no debts and I don't owe a penny to any bank. Whoever manages to find any debt of mine or my company to a bank, I will immediately give up my immunity. Nobody can get anything against Peevski - nothing, nothing, nothing", Delyan Peevski said today in Parliament.

Yesterday, former PP-DB MP Ivaylo Mirchev said that the information received from Tsvetan Vassilev was sufficient for the Prosecutor General to request Delyan Peevski's immunity.
