SDSM asks prosecutors to probe bomb at policeman’s home and alleged €300,000 commissions
SDSM official demands prosecutors investigate alleged bomb attack at a police officer’s home and links to a €300,000 bribery claim.
Aleksandar Dimitrijevic, general secretary of SDSM, urged the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office today to open an investigation after what he said was a bomb thrown last Sunday at the home of Milko Boshkovski in Bardovci. Dimitrijevic said Boshkovski is employed at the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the organized-crime unit and demanded transparency about the incident.
Political accusations and calls for answers
Dimitrijevic accused ties between the policeman and the prime minister's circle and criticized the responsible minister, Panche Toshkovski. He said the incident was not a routine security case and questioned why the episode had been kept from the public.
“Boshkovski is directly connected to the prime minister’s godfather. This is not an ordinary security incident. The question is why this event is being hidden from the public,” Dimitrijevic said, and added sharp criticism of the minister’s role.
At the press event he further attacked the minister by name and singled out alleged links to business deals. “Panche Toshkovski plays the expert on water, on hyper-chlorination, on cleaning water supply systems; he does everything except do his job. Where is he to explain why bombs are being thrown at Ministry of Internal Affairs employees who are connected to the prime minister’s godfather? The information whistleblowers gave us leads to reasonable suspicions that the reason is an unrealised business deal with commissions,” Dimitrijevic said.
He asked prosecutors to examine specific allegations: “Is this about a commission — a bribe of 300,000 euros for businesses and tenders? Where should the 300,000 euros have ended up? Is there any connection with tenders at REK and with construction-attractive land in Skopje? Panche Toshkovski must answer what his employees are doing. Is it true that this same police officer was previously reported to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for demanding a bribe of 200,000 euros from a former mayor?”
Dimitrijevic concluded by repeating his demand that the prosecutor open a formal probe, verify the whistleblower claims and provide the public with clear answers about who stands behind the attack and any alleged corruption links.
