Nikolina Angelkova from GERB does not recognize herself in the photos with Zhivko Kotsev.
This became clear from the words of Sofia city prosecutor Iliana Kirilova.
The city prosecutor of Sofia, Iliana Kirilova, made major revelations to Maria Tsantsarova in the program “This Morning”.
“Peter Petrov-Euroto intended to douse me with acid,” she said.
“I have known Petar Petrov since 1995-1996, when he was a prosecutor. I have not communicated with him for many years. I explained a moment in my personal life when I met him after a long break,” she explained.
According to her, Petar Petrov-the Euro has no way of influencing her. “What I do know is that he intended to douse me with acid. As far as I know, an interrogation of Lyubena Pavlov came out – that’s where I learned,” prosecutor Kirilova explained.
She doesn’t feel threatened and never has, but the acid thing was new to her.
“Witnesses often change their statements in court (such as those of Lyubena Pavlova – b.r.). This prevents the prosecution from maintaining its indictment. There are two cases that have not yet been concluded. I am questioned in both cases,” she said when asked about her frequent visits to the Eight Dwarfs.
Prosecutor Kirilova also said that her colleague Chavdar Pastovanov called her some time ago very worried while she was on vacation. “He told me they were going to douse me with acid. I am not familiar with the materials in these cases – I have delegated the rights to my deputies and I do not want to know what is in these cases. Moreover, I know the truth very well – it will come out,” she explained.
“The role of Nikolina Angelkova is yet to be clarified. She has no memory of this thing. A facial identification examination is to be done as to whether the person in the photo is her or not. She doesn’t recognize herself,” said the prosecutor and added that he expects Angelkova to voluntarily talk about the photo in the car where Kotsev is showing her watch.
“If the forensics confirm that it is her in the photo, I am concerned that she may have memory problems. I can’t say,” she further explained.
“There is a prohibition against prosecutors commenting on any evidence that has been collected under a more special order. The place where they should be presented is in court,” said prosecutor Kirilova regarding the scandalous photos with the poodle and the wads of money that were leaked to the media.
She also commented on who released the photos and witness statements in question. “This is an issue that has been on the agenda for quite some time. It cannot be answered unequivocally. The materials in one case go through many people. Second, when a case comes to court, the lawyers have the right to see it, and it is very unpleasant, especially for the prosecutor’s office, because there is a tendency to “disguise” these people, as the media put it,” she explained.
According to her, the mere leak of these photos violates investigative secrecy, but she is adamant that “the prosecutor’s office does not have such a task – to smear people.” The prosecutor’s office at this stage has not self-reported, it was clear from her words.
“The narrative that he himself can build from these photos is according to his own perception. Is this possible or not? Do these persons in the photos have the necessary morals or is this an action by the prosecutor’s office that aims to discredit them? This is a matter of perception,” prosecutor Kirilova explained.
According to her, “if it is proven that the persons in the photos are exactly them, the supervising prosecutors should check when they were taken, on what occasion and whether the people have a relationship with each other.” She is adamant that the role of the former Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in this organized crime group is yet to be clarified, if there really is such a connection.
“He was charged with participating in an organized criminal group. 50 people have been interrogated, but more interrogations are to come in this case, which should provide more specifics on the possible role of the former chief secretary of the Ministry of the Interior,” she added.
Prosecutor Kirilova clarified that she has known Zhivko Kotsev since 1994. According to her, it cannot be denied that he has a good career. “From the debriefing that’s leaked, it’s clear that he did it out of loyalty to his former superiors and current friends – that’s what I saw. At this stage, there is clarity, but there is no way to share it, because Mr. Kotsev should not learn about it from the media,” she added.
