On Facebook, Bojkov wrote: “For 2 years (prosecutor general) Geshev did everything he could to get his cronies off the hook, after I provided hard evidence of the biggest extortion in the history of Bulgaria. After my report and my testimony before the European Public Prosecutor’s Office from the past month, at long last Boyko Borissov, Vladislav Goranov and Menda Stoyanova were arrested today. The truth always comes to light.”
