The Minister of the Interior admitted that the video from the border with a migrant shot was manipulated.

For the first time, the journalist from Lighthouse Reports, who first learned about the shooting and investigated the case, spoke about the investigation, which referred to the conclusions of independent experts who examined the video footage.

"The expert analyzes the audio from the video.

The shot is aimed at the person taking the picture and it is from the Bulgarian side of the border.

This guy has never been wrong and I have no doubts about the sound analysis.

We see people in uniforms that look like Bulgarian policemen, as well as two cars - a military and a civilian jeep," journalist Claas van Dieken told BTV.

The interior minister denied that the bullet was fired from Bulgaria and admitted that the investigation was manipulated.

The journalist from the Netherlands refuted this: "We have not manipulated anything at all."

The authorities say that the weapons of the Bulgarian border guards are dominated by stop cartridges.

Border police did not recognize the location from the video, nor did they have any evidence of a shooting.

"You don't know first where the shot came from, then in that direction, but if a shot is fired and hypothetically there are other people behind and another person, a third person, outside of that group is affected, what happens then? So these are absurdities. Rather, the situation is being overexposed, it could be a stage, it could be theater," said Gennady Tenev, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the SFSMVR.

There have been reports of injured border police since a month ago, when a border guard was shot with a hunting rifle.

The photo of a police officer wounded in the head, which the Ministry of Internal Affairs distributed, has its meta data deleted.

Without them, it cannot be determined definitively when this photo was taken, the journalist added.
