Today the alleged Emil Kyulev who ransomed many companies (34) in the last 2 years had the change to appeal the warrant for him to stay in jail until court date, this is what he said:
The Sofia Court of Appeal (SAC) released from custody the computer specialist Teodor Iliev, who was arrested and accused by the prosecutor's office of stealing sensitive data from more than 35 state institutions, banks and insurance companies.
The state prosecution claims that 21-year-old Iliev worked for four years under the pseudonym of the murdered banker Emil Külev and extorted money from a number of Bulgarian institutions and companies.
Initially, the Sofia City Court kept Iliev in custody because of the testimony against him. However, the second-instance Sofia Court of Appeals released him, arguing that there was no evidence against him, and only the assumptions of the witnesses had been collected.
The appellate judges announced that computer crimes are not investigated and proven by testimony, but by expertise. In the case, no expertise was attached to the seized computer equipment.
"There is a booklet - "Investigation of computer crimes". Mr. Prosecutor, find it and give it to the investigators. Computer crimes are not proven with witnesses, but with expertise," said judge Galya Georgieva to prosecutor Borislav Vladimirov in the courtroom.
She threatened the journalists that she wanted to be quoted correctly because otherwise this would be the last case they would go on. According to the Bulgarian constitution, hearings are public, and judges do not have the right to invent arbitrary reasons to kick people out of the courtroom.
The prosecution attached to the case the testimony of an anonymous witness who stated that he had seen the hacker "Emil Külev" live, and that it was Teodor Iliev.
Another witness, Kiril Grigorov, explains that Teodor Iliev is "Emil Kyulev" and he has this information from Iliev's girlfriend - Nikol Popova. She denies and claims that she saw in the media that Iliev was named for "Kyulev".
