Gabriela Bogomova Sashova and Krasimir Penkov Georgiev are Bulgarian citizens who were arrested due to allegations of severe cruelty against animals. The pair reportedly filmed themselves torturing and killing animals, and subsequently sold the recordings as crash fetish pornography via Telegram and other platforms. According to investigators, their operations began 2 to 3 years prior to their arrest.[1]. The duo offered a price list for the killing of various small animals including cats, rabbits, and mice and then killed them slowly and brutally charging customers[2] between 50 and 700 euros per video.[3]

The activities of Sashova and Georgiev led to significant public outrage, resulting in widespread protests across major Bulgarian cities,[4][5][6] including their hometown of Pernik. The case not only drew attention to the specific crimes but also sparked a broader public discourse on animal rights within the country.

Four months after the nationwide protests, widespread public outcry resulted in legislative reforms addressing animal cruelty.[7][8]

In response to the case and the public reaction it incited, the Bulgarian Ministry of Justice moved to initiate urgent legislative reforms aimed at enhancing the protection of animal rights.[9]

Further compounding their legal issues, Sashova and Georgiev were also charged with money laundering, conspiracy and criminal enterprise. They remain in police custody pending trial.[10]
