The meeting was arranged and attended by then-secret agent Alexei Petrov, who later became adviser to the former head of the State National Security Agency (DANS) and served in that post until last year when he was jailed as part of a high profile anti-mafia police operation, dubbed "Octopus," not related to the events surrounding Petkov's resignation.
Sastanak je ugovorio i prisustvovao mu tadašnji tajni agent Alexei Petrov, koji je kasnije postao savjetnik bivšeg šefa Državne agencije za državnu sigurnost (DANS), a na tom je mjestu ostao do prošle godine, kada je završio u zatvoru u sklopu velike policijske operacije protiv mafije, nazvane "Hobotnica", nevezane uz događaje oko ostavke Petkova.
