The Prosecution office is investigating coercion and threat to the defected Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB) MP Radostin Vasilev. The State Prosecution office said on Monday that they were triggered after media reports that on May 25 he was forced by threat to do something against his will.

On May 26 Vasilev circulated an audio recording of an online meeting from the National Council of CC, after which GERB announced they were freezing the negotiations for a joint government with the CC-DB.

Vasilev himself said that he had been approached by the head of the State Agency for National Security, who told him that there was evidence of threats to his life and therefore he should be put under protection.

At the beginning of May, Radostin Vasilev voluntarily waived his immunity requested by the Prosecution Office because of threats and attempted coercion by him against a former partymate of his from There Is Such a People (TISP). 

Vasilev left TISP and joined the non-afilliates quota of CC.
