The three Bulgarian MPs, who recently left the notorious far-right Ataka (Attack) party's parliamentary group, announced Friday they possess documents proving their former fellow party members' wrongdoings.
The documents, reportedly gathered from Bulgaria and the Seychelles, prove that MPs from the nationalist party have been forced to sign promissory notes turning them into guarantors of loans taken by offshore companies, the renegades, Kiril Gumnerov, Valnetin Nikolov and Ognyan Peychev, said, according to News.bg.
The former Ataka members also claimed one more MP is set to leave the party's parliamentary group, but refused to specify his or her name.
Peychev, Gumnerov and Stoychev left Ataka after the accident in front of the Banya Bashi mosque in downtown Sofia on May 20, in which activists of the party assaulted praying Muslims during a rally protesting the mosque's use of loudspeakers. Upon leaving, they said it had been "the last straw".
The MPs condemned another recent provokation in which followers of their former party marred a ceremony dedicated to the martyrs of the Batak massacre, declaring Ataka and its leader, Volen Siderov, have been involved in a growing number of "shameful accidents" recently.
