Investigative and operative actions related to the investigation of the murder of Alexey Petrov are being carried out on the territory of the capital city, the Ministry of Interior announced, as quoted by BGNES, on the occasion of the police search in properties of Vasil Bozhkov. The collected materials will be reported to the supervising prosecutor of the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office.

Meanwhile, Georgi Gatev, lawyer of the businessman, stated that his client was taken for questioning as a witness. According to him, the searches were related to pre-trial proceedings from the past year in relation to companies and their activities. He clarified that the companies had already been transferred to another person and information about them will probably be sought.

Georgi Gatev refuted claims the actions of the police in the properties of Bozhkov were related to the murder of Aleksey Petrov.
