Investigations required for audio-incation where Bulgarian prime minister is heard calling for MP burning

Elena Yoncheva, a former journalist who has been engaged in a campaign to expose government corruption, said the state prosecutor had to look into the seven-minute audio device, which has already been heard by more than a million Bulgarians since it was anonymously posted on YouTube and other social media.

Borissov has contested the authenticity of audio-incension, which appeared to have been registered in April, while many critics consider the form of manipulation “deep fake”, writes The Guardian, sent Periscopi.

Bulgaria is the most corrupt country in the EU, according to Transparency International, and also the poorest country in the 27-member bloc.

Borissov, who had earlier been the bodyguard of Bulgarian communist leader Todor Zivkov, is his country's prime minister for more than ten years.

In the audioincation that was published on June 12th, a man with the prime minister's voice is heard discussing party and government issues before implying that he was willing to sacrifice his economy minister, Alexander Manolov, in the wake of a misuse scandal of EU funds if he was to short-range MP Elena Yoncheva alive”. Manolev was later charged with abuse of funds.

The injections had appeared shortly before several photos were sent to the media, which showed Prime Minister Borissov asleep with guns in his arm and an open drawer filled with money and gold.

He admitted that the picture in question could be true. He has accused Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, a political rival, of using fear to take pictures of him. /Periscope
