Bulgaria's Chief Prosecutor Boris Velchev defined the resignation of the national security agency head, Tsvetlin Yovchev, as an "act of old-fashioned integrity".
On Thursday, Velchev said that the State Agency for National Security (DANS) director is a worthy man and that based on his reasons, his resignation has nothing to do with the eavesdropping scandal involving top officials.
His resignation follows last month's leak of conversations, taped by DANS, to the public via a weekly newspaper, sparking a scandal. The leaked conversations implicate officials, including Borisov, as corrupt.
Bulgaria's chief prosecutor said Thursday that the investigation on the eavesdropping scandal continues. He added that new witnesses were questioned on Wednesday in order to clarify who had access to the information from the special surveillance devices and how was the leaking possible technically.
