The Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhivko Kotsev, is in hospital with a deteriorating health condition. This was announced in the program “The Day with Veselin Dremdzhiev”, the MP from “We continue the change – Democratic Bulgaria” Boyko Rashkov. He did not specify exactly what was wrong with Kotsev or in which hospital he was. Earlier in the day, information appeared in some media that the chief secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had gone on sick leave.
Rashkov also said that Kotsev was pressured by the Minister of the Interior Kalin Stoyanov, i.f. chief prosecutor Borislav Sarafov and rank-and-file prosecutors to resign. “He was threatened with detention, as well as criminal charges and the like, which was accompanied by a previously prepared request for release from detention,” the deputy specified.
According to him, the photos of Kotsev with the detained father and son Marin and Stefan Dimitrovi were taken from his phone, which was seized during the action at the Customs Agency. “The prosecutor’s office takes people’s phones in the worst possible way, rummages through them, pulls out even intimate communications and distributes them through the media,” added Rashkov.
