Bulgaria’s Prosecutor’s Office is to probe the allegations against Prime Minister Boyko Borissov published in Spanish newspaper el Periodico on February 24, which linked the Bulgarian PM to a money laundering scheme.

Using the mechanism for international legal cooperation the Spanish authorities have been called in order to clarify whether there was evidence of a crime. All individuals mentioned in the article will be questioned and documents will be required for alleged transactions, the prosecution also said.

The investigation of the Spanish authorities started after a complaint by Bulgarian non-governmental organization Boets. The NGO is said to be linked with Belgrade-based banker Tsvetan Vasilev, who is wanted by Bulgarian justice over the bankruptcy of Corporate Commercial Bank.
