Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov will be called on Monday for re-interrogation at the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office. 

He will testify once again as a witness in the case of alleged extortion of former lottery mogul Vassil Bozhkov, as his first interrogation, conducted by an investigating police officer, has no legal value. 

The interrogations of former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, his PR Sevdelina Arnaudova, and former Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov were repeated on the same grounds. The three were detained for one day on Bojkov's tip-off from Dubai. 
Earlier today, Justice Minister Nadezhda Yordanova said that the prosecutor's office had not submitted to the Justice Ministry a request for legal assistance to conduct a witness interview with Vasil Bozhkov via videoconference from Dubai.
