“I did not kill an animal. I do not know that there was a killed pig, nor do I have anything to do with it. I have nothing to do with the other car in which the killed animal was found, nor do I know its people well.” This was stated by the former chairman of SANS Dimitar Georgiev to bTV, after he was asked to comment after his detention due to a case of alleged poaching.
According to him, he was driving in a separate car.
“I have seen the people from the other car twice and I have nothing to do with them. I have not been in the same place in the forest with them, we find ourselves on the way home,” Georgiev told Nova TV.
