“I don't find anything abnormal in the Economic Police conducting inspections somewhere. This happens daily, it is not always reported. They probably took action themselves or are somehow conducting an inspection”. This was stated on “This Morning“ on bTV by lawyer Menko Menkov about the operation in Varna, in which the Economic Police entered the municipality in connection with an order from the mayor Blagomir Kotsev, who ordered who would replace him during the time he was detained.
According to Menkov “it is completely normal“ 8 months after the signals, arrests are being made now.
“Will and when will the arrests be carried out – assesses the supervising prosecutor, the team leading the investigation. We have had cases where arrests have occurred much later or much earlier than the collection of evidence. This is not a sign of interference in anything. But if you ask me whether there is political interference in the administration of justice or pressure from certain politicians to somehow make certain cases happen – yes, they have such interference all over the world“, said Menko Menkov.
Regarding the fact that Borislav Sarafov is still acting as Prosecutor General – the lawyer asked “Who is to blame for this? Is he to blame. I am too – I will not leave“.
“Why do you think that if instead of Borislav Sarafov they put any other prosecutor temporarily managing the prosecutor's office, things will go in a different direction“, he asked.
