Freed Australian Jock Palfreeman fears Bulgarian corruption could land him back in jail

Palfreeman says 'fascist party' may try to set him up by planting drugs and using a false witness if he is sent back to prison

Australian Jock Palfreeman, who has been freed from detention but banned from leaving Bulgaria, has said he fears systemic corruption within that country's criminal justice system could see him returned to jail for years beyond his original sentence.

In an interview with the ABC shortly after being released from immigration detention, Palfreeman said he feared the influence of far-right political movements, which are seeking to have him reimprisoned, on the judiciary and criminal justice system.
