Dimitar Zhelyakov pled guilty to all charges and agreed to a 4.5-year sentence. He will also be subject to confiscation of property worth over $25,000 USD. Zhelyazkov, dubbed "Mityo Ochite" ("Dimitar The Eyes"), has been detained since 2 April 2007, together with 16 of his associates. All of them have been accused of organizing an armed gang for drug dealing.
Eleven of Zhelyakov's associates also made confessions. Their sentences in the agreement will vary depending on the evidence and their parts in the crimes. All of the agreements, however, include sentences shorter than the maximum that can be imposed by law. The prosecution will also take into account the time that the defendants have already spent in detention.
