Sanctioned businessman Vasil Bozhkov, who lives in Dubai, has expressed readiness to appear before the newly established parliamentary committee that aims at establishing the circumstances that led to sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act. He wrote on Facebook: "As directly affected by Magnitsky, I want to appear before this committee, as long as they find the courage to listen to me. If they didn't, it would be clear who they serve." The establishment of the committee was unanimously approved by the National Assembly today. The US sanctions affect Delyan Peevski, Vasil Bozhkov and Ilko Zhelyazkov.
