The Special Prosecution tasked with investigating high-level crime said on Monday that it suspects a former secret police chief and six other police officers of "torture and inhumane treatment" during Boskoski's arrest in 2011.

The head of the secret police on the day of the arrest on June 6, 2011 was Saso Mijalkov, a cousin of the ruling VMRO DPMNE party leader, Nikola Gruevski.

Boskoski, who has spent five years in jail for the illegal financing of his political campaign, became eligible for early release from Tuesday on the basis of good behaviour. 

But it remained unclear if he would get out of jail on time to join the campaign for the pre-term parliamentary elections on June 5, as his release depends on the prison governor's approval.

Macedonia's opposition Social Democratic party, SDSM, published seven more conversations on Friday, which the party said showed the arrest of opposition politician Ljube Boskoski was a setup.

Ljube Boskoski, a former Interior Minister and former leader of the United for Macedonia party, was arrested on June 6th 2011, one day after the general elections of that year.
