By the end of next week, Bulgaria's caretaker Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov will file a complaint with the prosecutor's office against former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. The reason is information he received about covering up of crimes and threats directed to the main witness of these violations. 

According to the alleged witness who remains anonymous, Boyko Borissov told him: "You have a wife and children who will not know if they are not eating your meat." 
Meanwhile, at a meeting with young members of GERB, the former prime minister said that there was still no evidence regarding the allegations of wiretapped politicians. 
"They panicked so much that they had to sew something up very quickly, make a compilation, and even call us 'ex-men,'" Borissov said, denying that his government and services had eavesdropped on opposition leaders.
