The former chief secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhivko Kotsev, has been summoned by the Commission for Countering Corruption in the investigation of smuggling, NOVA reported.
He has received a summons to appear on Friday, the media learned from its sources. Due to his lawyer's commitments, however, Kotsev was asked to appear today.
There is currently no official information on whether he will be questioned as a witness or charged. Kotsev once already testified in this case after a meeting with the chief prosecutor Borislav Sarafov.
Lawyers have suggested that the former chief secretary also testified as a witness with a secret identity. On Tuesday, DANS chairman Plamen Tonchev told the deputies about Kotsev's connections with father and son Marin and Stefan Dimitrovi, accused of smuggling.
