"Don't ask me to comment on false statements made by a politician in a pre-election situation. The Prosecutor's Office can't stop working just because someone doesn't like it," spokesperson of the Chief Prosecutor Siika Mileva said.

During the search in Papalezov's office, many items bearing the marks of movable cultural property were found, mostly coins. The printouts attached to them are evidence of tender procedures at one of the largest auctions in Germany, reported BGNES .
