This is what Valentina Madjarova, head of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office, told BNR.

Investigations continue into the third person on the Magnitsky list, Vasil Bozhkov, who is in Dubai, Madjarova added. After the suspension of the activities of the specialized prosecution from tomorrow, the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office will work on the case.
