On Thursday, the trial against Gjoko Ristov continued with the testimony of the accused Skopje Appellate Court Judge’s father.
“I would earn the money, my wife would put it in the wall”, Ristov’s parent said regarding the 350,000 euros uncovered in their family home in Negotino.
He claimed that the money represented their life savings accumulated over decades of agricultural work, underlining that his children had known nothing about the hidden funds. Prosecutor Iskra Hadji Vasileva, however, described that day’s testimonies by Ristov’s parents as being on the margins of credibility.
