Court hears suspected Russian proxies traveled to Germany, Switzerland after Paris raid POLITICO
According to information provided by the Bulgarian authorities, also cited in court, Angelov and a third suspect, Kiril Milushev, 28, traveled to Germany shortly after the Paris operation. The French prosecutor noted that the Munich grave of Stepan Banderaa nationalist Ukrainian politician active in the 1930s and 1940s, had been tagged around the same time. Citing intelligence shared by a foreign country, he asked whether the Paris raid suspects had been involved.
Milushev dismissed the theory as “absurd.” Dressed in a white shirt and sporting a light beard, he admitted to having visited Germany with Angelov but said they had gone there to buy a second-hand car.
Milushev also admitted to traveling to Switzerland with Ivanov, who didn’t deny the trip. The latter didn’t visit Paris but paid for hotel rooms for the three others and for their flights back to Sofia after the Holocaust Museum was defaced.
The Swiss trip came ahead of a high-level Ukraine summit in the country.
“We were meant to put (up) stickers (for peace) but we didn’t do it,” Milushev said.
Ivanov acknowledged paying for the Paris trip of the other three suspects, but said he had done so as a favor to Angelov, who later paid him back.
