The Macedonian police is determining who helped the convicted former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski to secretly leave Macedonia and flee to Hungary, the daily Sloboden pečat announced today in its online edition.
The Macedonian Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the internal control department is checking whether there are police officers involved in the escape of the convicted Gruevski, and that the Department of Internal Affairs in Skopje is checking the method of escape and possible helpers.
The former Macedonian prime minister, whose private and diplomatic passport was confiscated by the court last year, fled to Hungary to avoid serving the two-year prison sentence to which he was legally sentenced.
Gruevski wrote on Facebook on Tuesday, November 13, that "in the last few days he has received countless threats to his life" and that he is in Budapest, where he requested political asylum from the Hungarian authorities.
The Macedonian police previously issued a national warrant on Monday because he did not voluntarily appear for his prison sentence within three days, and after it was established that he was in Hungary.
