Bulgaria's caretaker Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev commented to Nova TV on the data presented yesterday by the prosecutor's office, according to which the chief prosecutor is the subject of attacks by oligarchs, and prosecutors and judges are being threatened. According to him, the information in his department is not sufficient to confirm the existence of such an organization. 

"If there are allegations of a captured state, the Ministry of Interior is not part of it. There is no influence on the Ministry of Internal Affairs that would prevent us from performing our functions. I can't imagine how anyone can conquer the prosecutor's office. If there are such people who have united to discredit magistrates, the task of the State Agency for National Security and the prosecutor's office is to expose them and submit the indictment to the court", said the minister, stressing that he was not a participant in "this film or series". 

In his words, the chief prosecutor cannot be a victim because he has all the means to deal with it if he has become the target of a threat.
