Bulgaria:

Makfax, the independent news agency of Macedonia, is reporting that the owner of the Bulgarian soccer team FC Lokomotiv has been murdered. Georgi Iliev was sitting at a bar enjoying a drink when he was gunned down by a sniper. He had just come from a UEFA Cup qualifying match between his team and OFK Beograd.

Police are not speculating on who may have ordered or executed the murder. One theory is that there are disputes in the Bulgarian criminal underworld over drug territory. Mr. Iliev and his late brother, who died 10 years ago after a shootout in Sofia, were suspected of having ties with these organizations. Georgi Iliev was 39.

Well, I guess bad things are going to happen when you get involved with the criminal underworld. You essentially sell your soul and if you want it back, you're going to pay...in some very imaginative ways.
