Statement of the Bulgarian Federation of Shotokan Karate Do (BFSKD) regarding the recently emerged public scandal.
"The Bulgarian Federation of Shotokan Karate Do is the only licensed organization by the Ministry of Youth and Sports to administer Shotokan Karate Do in the Republic of Bulgaria.
BFSKD has no affiliation with any other entities with similar names.
The individual Yavor Diankov is not a member, has never been a member, and has no affiliation with BFSKD."
A thunderous scandal erupted on Friday.
It was revealed that the case of Kiril Petkov was manipulated. This became clear during the live broadcast of the protest in front of the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office, where the leader of "We Continue the Change" appeared to be charged for the arrest of Boyko Borisov in 2022.
The exchanged remarks "overheard" between Petkov and one of the present at the protest, who embraces him and begins to speak to him, are literally exploding the rule of law in the country:
"Just to tell you... everything is arranged, you won't have to worry, it's been discussed. Keep your head up, we've got it all under control...just so you know."
Petkov greets the man with a "sensei" ...
It turned out that the person from the recording who says "everything is arranged" is Yavor Diankov, Kiril Petkov's first karate teacher.
As it has already become known, the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office has served Kiril Petkov the indictment in the case of the arrest of Boyko Borisov.
Petkov has been placed under a "signature bond" prosecutor's measure.
