Civil Fraud and Asset Recovery

Our law office International Law Office D. Vladimirov & Partners is a leading Bulgarian law firm specializing in asset recovery for victims of civil fraud and cybercrime, especially in cases where fraudsters or stolen assets are located in Bulgaria.

With more than 19 years of specialized legal practice, we provide efficient, result-oriented legal services

Our services has been focused on international companies and individuals who have suffered losses due to cyber fraud, business email compromise (BEC), and other sophisticated financial scams.

The Expertise in Cyber Fraud and Asset Recovery

Our firm has developed a proven track record in handling complex cross-border financial fraud cases involving Bulgarian individuals or legal entities.

We have represented victims from Europe, North America, and Asia, who became targets of professional criminal networks operating internationally but channeling money through Bulgarian bank accounts.

The fraudsters typically used email spoofing, hacking attacks, and phishing schemes — sending deceptive messages that closely resembled legitimate communications between business partners.

These attacks aimed to mislead companies into transferring significant sums to Bulgarian accounts controlled by the perpetrators.
All these transactions were in direct breach of Bulgarian and EU anti-money laundering (AML) legislation.

2. Our Legal Approach

In each case, time is critical. Our legal team acts immediately to protect clients’ interests by:

• Tracing the flow of stolen funds through advanced investigative methods and cooperation with banks and authorities.

• Filing urgent motions for interim measures, including freezing orders on bank accounts and injunctions to prevent asset dissipation.

• Working closely with the Bulgarian police, prosecution, and financial regulators to initiate both criminal and civil proceedings.

• Engaging with international law enforcement through Europol, Interpol, and mutual legal assistance frameworks to coordinate cross-border recovery.

We combine litigation, investigation, and regulatory action to maximize the chance of successful recovery for each client.

3. Practical Legal Solutions

Our law firm provides strategic asset recovery solutions by integrating:

• Digital forensics and financial tracking tools to identify the movement of funds.

• Legal cooperation with banks and payment service providers under the Bulgarian Payment Services and Payment Systems Act (ЗПУПС).

• AML reporting procedures under the Measures Against Money Laundering Act.

• Coordination with civil enforcement officers (private bailiffs) for execution after obtaining a favorable judgment.

We represent clients from the first stage of identifying the fraud through court proceedings and final execution of judgments, ensuring a complete legal and operational recovery process.
