A year after the explosion, the investigators are silent on the case, but the former chief prosecutor has his own version, BNT reported .

,,I what I propose is that behind the attempt to kill me with the equivalent of five kilograms of TNT, and three kg. are at the Sarafovo attack, stands Boyko Borisov. Former Prime Minister of Bulgaria."

According to Geshev, the units are the people in Bulgaria who technically can organize a similar assassination attempt. The identified explosive substance is not available in Bulgaria and there are probably structures from abroad involved.

,,I will quote one of the best military experts of the State of Israel. He said this is a military performance I have lost 4 colleagues from this and I am taking care of their families. Only at 0.5 during such performance an armored Hummer penetrates", added Ivan Geshev - former chief prosecutor.

According to Geshev, the organizer of the attempt against him was probably the late Alexey Petrov - a former beret and a former advisor in DANS.

,,The assumptions are that after I refused to end "Barcelonagate", after I refused to leave as an ambassador, Alexei Petrov came out the day before I resigned and said that I should leave the post of Prosecutor General. I know that Alexey Petrov was extremely close to Borisov," added the former chief prosecutor.

At this stage, the prosecutor's office does not announce whether there are any suspects or a hot trail to the guarantors. Only the amount of the explosive substance was established - about two and a half kilograms of nitropenta.

A year after the explosion, the site is covered with dense vegetation and is difficult to distinguish. Investigators are still verifying whether the explosive substance was actually strong enough to penetrate the NSO armored vehicle in which Ivan Geshev was riding. It is still not clear who and how planted the bomb and whether enough traces were left to reveal the objective truth.

Whether the blast could have penetrated the car's armor should be clear from examinations made through computer modeling. Ivan Geshev stated that he was interrogated only a few weeks ago. The versions that circulated a year ago ranged from an attempt to remove the Attorney General to a staged.

,,What turned out to be that the prosecutor's office is currently on a leash to the politicians. If you think that's a nice change, fine. They ask why he didn't do it earlier. Why didn't he arrest him. That's exactly why they suspended me, because they knew I would arrest him and they got ahead of me by two weeks," Geshev said.

From,,Justice for All" are skeptical that the case will be solved.

,,This so-called Yarema assassination actually restructured the political processes in the country"

,,The most obvious thing that happened is not that politics left the prosecutor's office, but that the prosecutor's office entered the executive power through the Ministry of Justice and will write the law itself, which will have to reform the prosecutor's office. The minister is the deputy of the chief prosecutor Sarafov. In our circles, we say that we have a ministry of the prosecution, not of justice," the former chief prosecutor is convinced.

"Everything remains the same".

A year later, the former chief prosecutor has already made his debut in politics.
