Justice for Sale

This is a true story of fear, power, money, and death. It reveals how, at the beginning of the 21st century in Bulgaria, crime infiltrated the judiciary and state institutions, dictated the rules, and altered destinies. And in this book, Anna Zarkova does not merely recount events—she investigates them. Through a detailed account of events, she introduces us to a world where prosecutors can be bought, judges blackmailed, journalists manipulated, justice paralyzed, and the ordinary person left alone against the system.

In “Justice for Sale,” the stories of investigative police officers who are sidelined, criminal figures linked to big business and high-level politics, intimidated magistrates, and those who refuse to comply (such as Judge Vladislava Tsarigradska) and pay a high price for it.

The book covers scandalous cases such as the murders of Martin Bojanov—the Notary—and Alexei Petrov, the assassination attempt on Ivan Geshev, the scandals involving Petio Euroto, Barcelona-gate, KTB, the odyssey of Vasil Bozhkov, and many others.
