They threw out the brazen cop Ivan Bakarzhdiev from the First District Police Department in Burgas, about whom only we had the courage to write that he systematically harassed a pregnant woman, keeping her for long hours in cold and heat, even in the 9th month. This was his former classmate, and the harassment was because of teasing at school.
Abuse of power by police officer Bakardzhiev, who took orders to install window frames, which we wrote about here: Policeman Ivan Bakardzhiev installed window frames in a conflict of interest?
… in violation of his job description, systematically violating the instructions given to him by his direct superiors, police officer Ivancho Bakardzhiev, who even used his wife to harass citizens, exceeding his authority.
He not only used his official position to harass people he harbored a personal dislike for or had deep complexes about.
The undercover Bakirzhdiev allowed himself to leave the places where he was supposed to perform his patrol duties as an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to monitor and harass citizens , including his pregnant former classmate.
which we told you about here: Ivan Bakardzhiev held a pregnant woman for 6 hours in 40-degree heat for testing
With this, Ivan Bakardzhiev implicated the entire patrol crew, of which he was the direct superior.
Penal Code:
Offences in office
Complex worker No. 1 of Burgas Ivan Bakardzhiev – former shift supervisor at the First Regional Police Department in Burgas, it turned out that he constantly exceeded his rights while working at the 1st Regional Police Department of the Ministry of Interior – Burgas.
In one of the apparently many cases in which he did so, he went so far as to hold a former classmate (a pregnant woman) for 6 hours, 9 months pregnant, in the terrible heat of summer 2024, to give her another drug test, which came back negative.
This happened after Ivan Bakardzhiev felt humiliated during a street check 2 years ago, because when he asked the girl if she remembered him from school, she told him that she didn’t. The truth was that Ivan Bakardzhiev was the target of ridicule from girls in high school, one of whom was our heroine – a pregnant woman.
Policeman Ivan Bakardzhiev in a conflict of interest installing window frames?
All this from complexes because she told him she didn’t remember him.
This led to daily checks by Ivan Bakardzhiev, who, in order to wait for her and her husband in front of their home, violated the orders given to the operatives at the First Regional Police Department in Burgas and left his post in the area where he was assigned to protect public order.
Each inspection lasted several hours , and Ivan Bakardzhiev used his power, which he exceeded , to harass the pregnant woman .
He was arguing with a pregnant woman, who was 6 months pregnant at the time, during another argument that lasted for hours. She explained to him that she couldn’t wear a seat belt because she was pregnant and it was interfering with the fetus, but that didn’t stop Bakardzhiev from insisting that she wear a seat belt.
He forced a 6-month pregnant woman to wear a seatbelt while driving, even though she told him it was putting pressure on the fetus.
So, the aforementioned Ivan Bakardzhiev became so dizzy that he started making his subordinates at the First Regional Police Department in Burgas address him as “chief” and when this didn’t happen, he got angry and started making fun of the “disobedient” subordinate.
This led to him being thrown out like a dirty mote from the First District.
Currently, he has found refuge in the most corrupt part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs – the Border Police . Our media will not stop following Ivan Bakardzhiev’s work in the Border Police.
We have information that he used his wife to provide him with information about certain individuals, who is a waitress at the “Romance” pizzeria in Burgas.
In one of the cases, she tried to encourage one of our sources to drink alcohol at the “Romance” pizzeria and when he left the restaurant, 3 patrolmen led by her husband – Ivan Bakardzhiev cut him off to test him for alcohol and drugs. He did not drink alcohol and therefore his tests were negative, which caused anger and regret in Ivan Bakardzhiev.
You will read more about this and other similar cases in our next investigations.
You can read the entire interview below:
– Hello, the police officer in question, Ivan Bakardzhiev, who stopped me in the “Akaciite” neighborhood with my husband.
He told me that he was my classmate, I don’t know what grade. I have no memory of it. And I told him that I didn’t remember him, because that was how it was.
From then on, he started stopping us systematically and his behavior changed radically.
COMPLEXARSHTIN: “Policeman Bakardzhiev harassed my entire family because of mockery in high school!”
For me, this is all on a personal basis.
I also have… eleven tests that I keep. Maybe there are more. Within a year and a half or two. This is just systematic harassment for me that I can’t stand.
While I was pregnant, he held me for a long time. With my husband’s daughter, in the sun, in the cold, in the wind.
It’s not normal to wait three hours for tests. Every time the traffic police officers see me, they say there’s no point in giving me a test because maybe I’m tired of them coming to give me tests because it will come out negative, but the gentleman insists on giving me one.
The gentleman also stopped us.
I think I was 5 or 6 months pregnant. He started nagging me about why I wasn’t wearing a seat belt. I explained to him that I was pregnant. He started asking what month I was in. There were certain months when you could take your seat belt off. I told him that the seat belt was in the way.
I was in my fifth or sixth month, I don’t remember. And that I couldn’t put it on because it was pressing on my stomach.
He said, “Open the trunk.” A look around began, then another delay.
Then he also wanted to give me a drug test, but he didn’t.
It’s just that for me, this is all on a personal basis, that I didn’t remember the gentleman in question being my classmate.
Question: Were the checks random or what? Were the checks random?
– The checks were absolutely not always random.
He turns his sirens on after me, stops traffic when he sees the car leaving the house.
The other police officers are robbed unlike him.
Only he always does this thing.
And this leads him to think that everything is personal.
Question: Are you saying that he used his official position to settle personal scores?
– Absolutely .
