schema:articleBody	North Macedonia police were scrambling Tuesday to find former secret service chief Saso Mijalkov who disappeared days before a verdict on his role in a mass wiretapping scandal that shook the country in 2015. Mijalkov, who led North Macedonia's secret police for almost a decade, is accused of organising the illegal surveillance campaign that included wiretapping of more than 20,000 people from 2008-2015 under the regime of former strongman Nikola Gruevski. According to police, the 55-year-old was last seen on Sunday afternoon, with the verdict in his case expected Friday. An international warrant for his arrest has been issued while local police have swarmed the capital Skopje, randomly stopping vehicles and searching the premises of the Marriott hotel that Mijalkov's family partially owns and that he regularly frequented. Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski said Tuesday he believed Mijalkov was still in the country, shifting blame to prosecutors and swatting down pressure to resign over the fiasco. "We must look for responsibility in the functioning of the whole system," he told reporters. Mijalkov's passport had been confiscated so he could not have left the country legally, according to prosecutors. The former counterintelligence director may become the second high-profile official in North Macedonia to escape justice after his cousin and former Prime Minister Gruevski fled to Hungary to avoid a two-year prison sentence for corruption in 2018. The wiretapping scandal provoked a political crisis in the small Balkan country, leading to months of protests and, eventually, snap elections that ended the right-wing regime led by Gruevski. Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, a Social Democrat who has tried to lead North Macedonia into EU accession talks, called for "immediate" action to locate Mijalkov, whose disappearance dents his government's promises of delivering justice and rule of law. dd/mbs/ssm/pvh
