DGKV represented the Canadian Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD Bank”) in a bank fraud case launched in Bulgaria and aimed at reimbursing USD 1 million transferred to a Bulgarian entity as a result of a bank fraud, committed in Canada/USA. Besides the legal representation in the core civil proceedings, DGKV also successfully advised and represented the client in interim relief proceedings in relation to the retention of the funds until the conclusion of the legal dispute. In addition, Sofia City Court favoured our request and repealed its previous ruling rendering attachment in favour of the Prosecution authorities with respect to the same bank account. This was necessary so that we could effectively collect the sum for our client. The favourable court ruling entered into force on August 3rd, 2019.
The Dispute Resolution team on the case was led by Practice Head Angel Ganev and included Senior Associate Simeon Simeonov and Associate Galin Atanasoff.
