Petkov was speaking after on Friday one of the Bulgarian magistrates involved in the case, the candidate to become Chair of the Pleven Regional Court - Rumen Lazarov, admitted wrongdoing and added further that Krasimir Georgiev aka Krasio had called him to inquire “about a case involving people close to the socialist MP Kiril Dobrev,” and that after the call he informed Petkov.

“Even then, I told Rumen Lazarov to inform the relevant authorities in the judicial system regarding what happened,” Petkov, who was Pleven Mayor at the time, concluded
