Skopje, 13 April 2025 (MIA) - The current Economy Minister is not included in the investigation, as there is no evidence so far that he was asked to extend the license for the “Pulse” nightclub in Kochani, Chief Prosecutor Ljupcho Kocevski said at Sunday’s joint press conference with the Interior Minister Panche Toshkovski.

He said 45 persons and three legal entities are under investigation. One person has since died, and proceedings against him will be dropped. Seven police officers are also being investigated.

He emphasized that the investigation will be carried out with maximum efficiency and will achieve the intended results.

Minister Toshkovski noted that in the process of clarifying the legal and criminal aspects of the case, the Ministry of Interior took a number of steps, demonstrating that the law applies to all offenders and ensuring that appropriate evidence was gathered.

"We will continue to take action against anyone for whom evidence is gathered," Toshkovski said.
