Nikolai Kokinov: Sanctions under the Magnitsky law are a political slap





“The visit may be because Bulgaria has not filled its quotas for EU prosecutors. Another reason is our experience with fraud, and it is possible that it has influenced the fact that it is Romanian and we are a neighboring country.” Thus, the former city prosecutor of Sofia Nikolay Kokinov commented to NOVA on the visit of the Chief Prosecutor of the EU Laura Koveshi.

According to him, it is not Koveshi’s job to interfere in the work of the Bulgarian prosecutor’s office.

“Sanctions under the Magnitsky Act are a political act, even a political slap. But the United States is unlikely to provide concrete facts and evidence,” he said.

According to him, since the United States is an important strategic partner, the government and investigators will make every effort to clarify the doubts raised.

“We have not seen objective information about the wiretaps, there is no factual information,” Kokinov said.

He believes that the interior minister certainly has a list of eavesdroppers.
