The defendant in hiding in Dubai, businessman Vasil Bozhkov, who has 18 charges, reacted on Facebook to the news that the caretaker government will compile lists of individuals, companies and institutions close to him and Delyan Peevski.
“In support of the commissions that the government wants to set up under American dictation, I offer a list of some of the people connected with me,” he wrote: “Nova TV, BTV, BNT and many Bulgarian and international media. National History Museum, National Art Museum gallery, scientists, artists, artists, directors. Levski, CSKA, BOC, the chess and sport shooting federations, dozens of Olympic and world champions, almost all sports clubs in Bulgaria. Bulgarian Christmas and hundreds of charitable initiatives, “Bozhkov wrote.
“Seriously now. I quote the spokesman of the European Commission:” US sanctions do not operate in the EU and do not bind EU countries. So there is nothing that would justify us taking countermeasures. These are sanctions imposed by the United States on people for their actions in or with the United States. “Bulgaria is still an EU member state, not a state of the United States. Let the government not forget that if I had not publicly disclosed the past year, the actions of the junta, Borisov and Peevski would still rule, and they would swear and criticize at home in front of their TVs. To be Bulgarians, “wrote the fugitive from Bulgarian justice.
