Searches and seizures are carried out at many addresses. The Ministry of Interior pointed out that “the action is urgent”, which means that the prosecutor’s office was not notified about it.
At 07.00 on Friday, supporters and members of GERB will protest in front of GDNP. There will be a protest at 09.00 in front of the Council of Ministers.
According to lawyer Lyudmil Rangelov, Boyko Borissov will most likely be released after the 24-hour arrest expires.
“He must be released at around 10 pm at the latest. The other option is for a prosecutor to take him into custody for 72 hours. “After that, the Prosecutor’s Office can present him before the court for a permanent measure of detention,” he explained on the air of “Hello, Bulgaria”.
According to him, there is no hypothesis from the information so far that the goal was to bypass the Bulgarian Prosecutor’s Office.
“We have this situation when immediate action is needed to prevent crime or to gather evidence. Any delay would ruin an investigation, “the lawyer explained.
