Two more people from Skopje and Veles were arrested over the weekend on suspicion of involvement in the Putsch case. One of them is an employee of the Interior Ministry and the other is a former employee of the Interior Ministry who was fired in 2013. They were both employed at the Ministry in the early 1990s.

"They both collaborated with a foreign service taking activities and steps for which they were abundantly rewarded. The initial examination has revealed that their assets have expanded disproportionately by hundreds of thousands of euros and shares. They are charged with espionage and violence against high-ranking state officials," said Interior Ministry Spokesperson Ivo Kotevski.

In the raid at five locations police seized five laptops, three desktop computers, 19 mobile phones, 100 CDs and DVDs, 110 video and audio cassettes 14 floppy disks, 17 hard disks and 9 savings deposit books.
