The head of the Bulgarian secret police resigned Wednesday in the wake of an eavesdropping scandal involving top officials.
State Agency for National Security (DANS) director Tsvetlin Yovchev said he was leaving his post because Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's government did not trust him. Yovchev has headed DANS since 2009.
His resignation follows the leaking last month of material taped by DANS leaked to the public via a weekly magazine, sparking a scandal. Leaked conversations implicate officials, including Borisov, as corrupt.
Borisov dismissed the allegations, saying the tapes were manipulated. Last week a bomb exploded in front of the building housing Galeria, the weekly which launched the tapes, causing damage but no injuries.
