Vasil Bozhkov is returning to Bulgaria: 20 Charges in absentia in 3 Cases await him

The businessman Vasil Bozhkov announced on his Facebook profile that he is returning to Bulgaria this afternoon. Since January 2020, he has been in Dubai, and several investigations are being conducted against him in absentia and he has been declared an internationally wanted man.

His possible direct testimony that he gave money to Borissov through his publicist Sevdelina Arnaudova, at the request of ex-finance minister Vladislav Goranov - for which the three were in custody for 24 hours during the administration of the "Petkov" office, does not, however, change the fact that Vasil Bozhkov has 20 charges in absentia in 3 cases.
