“Several things are very strange. It has been known for a year or so that there is such a case – there is open, public information, Mr. Bozhkov told it to anyone and for me it is mind-boggling that the Bulgarian prosecutor’s office does not even conduct pre-trial proceedings. a “Skype” conversation and to interrogate him. Vasil Bozhkov really wants to give information. There is no such case in the world – a man who has bribed, if it turns out to be true, high-ranking officials, wants to admit it, and from the other side has a prosecutor’s office, which says it is not interested, “Skype connections are not the way to be questioned. The Bulgarian taxpayer has paid more than half a billion in damages.”
This was stated by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov after an inspection of the interconnector with Greece in Komotini, reports DarikNews.bg.

“We are tired of people stealing millions and billions from us on the basis of personal opportunities to benefit. Not to comment on whether Mr. Borissov was sitting on a wooden bench or not,” Petkov said.
According to him, there is another new report from the Ministry of Finance, which analyzes how EU funds were given by the minister who was responsible for his executive agency for auditing EU funds. It is clear that a huge percentage of these EU funds under his leadership has only one eligible participant.

“90% of all possible projects have only one participant, this is an obvious manipulation of the audit,” Petkov said. “If a person is corrupt, he is not corrupt only for levs or euros, he is corrupt for his rule. Over 500 million is the damage to the state, according to the PFIA.”
“If you commit corruption in one place, it means that there is a very probable misuse of EU funds, that is the connection,” Petkov said. According to him, this report gives indications that there were abuses by the management of the agency under the hat of Vladislav Goranov when he was Minister of Finance.
“Instead of being a guardian of corruption, the audit department is starting to manipulate,” he said.
“There is no market economy in which a concentration of 90% of projects is assumed to be with only one participant,” added Kiril Petkov.
