Interior Minister Panche Toshkovski disclosed that the investigation includes a former prime minister, deputy prime minister, legal entity director, secretary general, and other civil servants.
An investigation in North Macedonia targets eight former senior officials, including a former prime minister, over alleged financial misconduct concerning gambling licenses granted to the state lottery company under the previous government.
Interior Minister Panche Toshkovski confirmed the probe, which involves several senior figures, though names have not been disclosed. Reports indicate former Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski and deputy Artan Grubi may be involved.
So far, no official statements or arrests have been made, and the people involved haven’t commented publicly. Recently, police conducted searches at nine different locations as part of the investigation. The issue is about irregularities in gambling licenses that were granted under the previous Social Democrat government, which was replaced by the conservative VMRO-DPMNE Party after their election win in May.
Given the high-profile figures involved, this investigation is likely to draw a lot of attention, as it unfolds.
