Tuesday’s questioning of former Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov lasted about 90 minutes.
Borisov, who questioned by the by the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of Cassation in relation with the ongoing wiretapping scandal in the country, told reporters that he “had a conversation” with the prosecutors.
“We talked. It was not an interrogation,” he claimed.
He insisted that the prosecutors questioned him because they wanted to investigate the “organized crime group” that secretly recorded a scandalous conversation in Borisov’s own home.
At the end of April, a secretly recorded conversation between former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, former Agriculture Minister, Miroslav Naydenov, and already-former Sofia City Prosecutor, Nikolay Kokinov, leaked in Bulgarian media, stirring a massive scandal.
The talk in the leaked recording basically revolves around corruption charges pressed against Naydenov and Kokinov being in hot water over breaches he had committed, and ways for both to get out of them.
Kokinov has been already questioned by the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of Cassation.
Snap elections are to take place in Bulgaria this Sunday, with GERB having a slight edge over the opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party, according to pollsters.
