Chief Prosecutor Lupco Kocevski indicated that the aim of the investigation is to prove whether there is criminal responsibility for Grubi and Bexhet.
The US State Department accused them of being “involved in high corruption and have accepted bribes to prevent” judicial processes related to the condemnation of Sasho Mijalkov, former director of the Directorate for Security and Counter-intelligence.
I'd like to inform you that I've formed subjects to provide evidence to prove the criminal responsibility of those mentioned for bribery and influential trading. The prosecution will give further orders. I want to stress that co-operation with the US and the [American] Embassy is excellent, as well as helping us in the fight against corruption”, Kocevski told reporters Wednesday.
