Bulgaria’s Prosecutor General has Threatened to reveal Political Influence in the Judicial System

"I declare very clearly that from this there will be great shame for a large part of the members - or some part of the members of the SJC! Which shame will not be for the Prosecutor General and the prosecution. Fortunately, it will not be for the entire SJC.

But I think that it will have a purifying effect on the political influence in the judiciary - and I am very determined to do it for the sake of my children and the Bulgarian citizens.

Because it's time for politics to leave the judiciary.

It will definitely be interesting... And it will be useful for Bulgarian citizens and for Bulgaria, and it will be useful for the judiciary and colleagues from the judiciary.

And because I'm a prosecutor, an investigator and a police officer - trust me - not only can I say a lot, I can also prove a lot. With the relevant methods regulated in the Bulgarian legislation," said Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev.

On May 8, the head of the national investigation, Borislav Sarafov, stated in his position before the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency that the prosecutor's office had long since entered the political arena and called for it to get out of there.

Sarafov and Geshev accuse each other, with the chief prosecutor asking for disciplinary proceedings to be opened against Sarafov, and he called on the judicial council to urgently remove him.

Geshev is called to give explanations at the prosecutor's office on Monday

Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev announced to the SJC that he was summoned next Monday to the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office to give explanations on two investigations that had been initiated.

Today, the Supreme Judicial Council is discussing the report...
