Bulgarian police and prosecutors searched offices linked to President Rumen Radev as his conflict with the country’s top prosecutor escalated.

Thursday’s raids targeted Radev’s secretary and one of his advisers, Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev said. The offices weren’t used by the president but were in the same building as his. The secretary and the adviser were detained in probes into offenses including influence peddling.
