The specialized prosecutor’s office has sent one more application to the United Arab Emirates, via the Justice Ministry, for the extradition of the businessman.

Vassil Bojkov also provided financing for a criminal act with the purpose of creating a potential danger to the life and health of the protesters on the territory of Atanas Burov Square in Sofia, the announcement by the prosecution reads.
