Levy’s petition requests primarily depend on Article 47 of the EU Constitution of Basic Rights.
Victims of crime ought to be acknowledged because the individuals wronged by the offender, protected in opposition to repeat victimization, granted entry to justice, and enabled to take part in felony proceedings.
Bulgarian legislation comprises related provisions.
The victims of OneCoin have obtained no justice from Bulgaria which seemingly protects and permits OneCoin to retain its property and proceed to function regardless of being probably the most infamous felony group of the twenty first Century.
Different EU Directives relied on embrace:
- 2012/29/EU (2012) – minimal requirements in member states on the rights, help, and safety of victims of crime
- 2004/80/EC (2004) – compensation of crime victims
and requires Bulgaria pay compensation to victims of violent crimes dedicated in its territory
Levy closes his petition by stating he
has no logical clarification as to why or how OneCoin and its principal events are nonetheless headquartered, working, and sheltered on the territory of Bulgaria regardless of being uncovered as a violent felony group concerned with funding of terrorism and arranged crime.
The quantity of sufferer property unrecovered is astounding and might solely be defined by deliberate misfeasance by the Bulgarian authorities answerable for sufferer’s rights.
This insupportable scenario runs counter to EU directives on victims of crime in addition to pure justice and have to be remedied as quickly as
attainable by the accountable events of the Bulgarian authorities.
Whether or not Bulgarian authorities will take any motion in opposition to OneCoin stays to be seen.
