1. Many foreign analysts do not understand why we've been demanding the resignation of General Prosecutor Ivan #Geshev for months. The short answer: he whitewashes corrupt politicians and he initiates bogus criminal proceedings against innocent people to harass them.
2. A leaked recording of #Borissov whose authenticity was proven by two independent forensic analyses - one commissioned by @occrp's partner @BivolBg and one by MEP Elena Yoncheva shows #Geshev receives orders from #Borissov re: who should be charged: bivol.bg/en/voice-in-pr…
3. Meanwhile, #Geshev turns a blind eye to obvious criminal activity. When these pictures from #Borissov's bedroom emerged showing inexplicable amounts of cash and a gun not stored according to law, Geshev concluded there was nothing to investigate:
