A reporter from TVN told AFP, “We are in shock. In no way, under any form, never have we received any threats – aimed at her or the television.”

But that assertion was contradicted by Asen Yordanov, the owner of the investigative website, bivol.bg, who told AFP that he had received information that his reporters were in danger of being assaulted. He said Marinova was linked to bivol.bg’s investigations because its reporters had appeared on her show.

“Viktoria’s death, the brutal manner in which she was killed, is an execution,” Yordanov said. “It was meant to serve as an example, something like a warning.”

Marinova’s killing was widely-condemned on Twitter by fellow journalists and watchdog groups.

Dirt on clintoons?

[P.O.E.]

The elites have shown they will stop at nothing.

The Devil is real. Evil is real. This is just beyond sick and horrible.

Only 30 years old. Body found in the Danube River?!

So so sad.

She isn’t the only one. Several other Euro journalists investigating similar corruption in the EU have turned up dead recently.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

The headline is a bit misleading. She was reporting on Bulgarian government’s usage of EU funds. Not the EU itself.

Just like old times in Bulgaria...

A lot of people, even Europeans themselves....don’t realize the path of EU money.

Each of the 28 participants in the EU has a ‘tax-bill’. They pay into a pot. The EU has an operating cost factor and part of the money covers that (along with pensions, travel money, etc).

Then the remaining money get funneled back down to each nation in special favors categories...farmers, education, bridge construction, border protection, health protection, etc.

Good catch.

To quote The Godfather:

“She was the light of my life. A beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful again.”

:(

I hope someone like The Godfather gets to the person who did it.

I hope they catch the guy, and when they do I hope they F him up seriously.

This young woman was in the prime of her life.

[Pajamajan]

Courageous young woman. RIP.

She was beautiful. So sad.

Prayers for her and her loved ones.

A several decades ago I had various dealings with Bulgarians. They are a rough bunch. The ones with whom I was acquainted were totally amoral and played hardball to win. To this day Bulgarians really creep me out, something of a cross between the Russian mafia, gypsies, and the worst of Islam.
