Francesco Gullino

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francesco Gullino (or Giullino) is an Italian who was named in June 2005 by The Times (London) [1] as the prime suspect in the 1978 "Bulgarian umbrella" murder of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov.

A British documentary, The Umbrella Assassin (2006) interviewed people connected with the case in Bulgaria, Britain and the United States, and revealed that Gullino is alive and well and still travels freely throughout the European Union. It may be that he cannot be prosecuted after a Bulgarian statute of limitations expires in 2008.
