The Sofia Appellate Prosecution Office (SAP) carried out an official review of the decree of the Sofia City Prosecution Office (SCP), which terminated the pre-trial proceedings for the the so-called "gold bars" case.

The review found that the criminal proceedings had been terminated without exhausting all sources of evidence, which had led to a failure to clarify issues of evidentiary significance.

The “Gold Bars” case was initiated in mid-2020 after a set of photos  were anonymously released to the media. They showed GERB leader and ex-prime minister Boyko Borissov asleep in his bedroom at the governmental Boyana Residence with a gun on his nightstand and a drawer full of bundles of EUR 500 banknotes and gold bars.

The pre-trial proceedings were referred back to the SCT on Monday with specific instructions to complete the evidence. They were terminated on May 10, Sofia city prosecutor Iliana Kirilova told BTA on May 27.
