0 Comments | AFP, April, 2008
SOFIA (AFP) — Bulgaria's powerful Interior Minister Rumen Petkov resigned Sunday amid a snowballing corruption scandal that exposed links between top crime-busters and suspected criminals.
"I resign as interior minister," Petkov told a press conference.
The BTA news agency cited Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev as telling journalists that the resignation had been accepted.
Stanishev added that Petkov's decision to stand down was "normal, logical and dignified."
