BULGARIA: The statute of limitations in relation to the murder of dissident Georgi Markov was due to expire, writes Daniel McLaughlin
BULGARIA HAS unexpectedly decided to continue investigating the notorious 'umbrella murder' 30 years ago of dissident Georgi Markov on London's Waterloo Bridge.
Bulgaria's statute of limitations on the murder case was due to expire yesterday, three decades after the writer and critic of communism died of poisoning by ricin, a tiny pellet of which is believed to have been fired into his leg by an unknown man wielding a specially adapted umbrella.
But Boris Naidenov, head of Bulgaria's National Investigation Service, said that because Markov's death may have been linked to an attempt the same year to kill another Bulgarian dissident, Vladimir Kostov, the file could remain open for longer.
For multiple attempted murders 'there is a 35-year statute of limitations, which can be prolonged further if the case has been interrupted. So there is enough time and legal possibilities to search for the truth,' Mr Naidenov said.
He also suggested powerful figures may still try to hamper the inquiry into the death of Markov, who fled Bulgaria in 1969 for Britain, where he regularly criticised his homeland's communist regime in reports for the BBC and Radio Free Europe
