 “We discussed important questions such as the law-governed state and the rule of law,” said Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev after he was heard out at a closed sitting of the European Parliament’s LIBE Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group (DRFMG) in Strasbourg.

The DRFMG discussed malign Russian influence and high-level corruption, and everything the European partners are interested in, Ivan Geshev stated. “I will wait and see President Radev’s decision regarding the decree for my dismissal, I will wait and see what the ruling of the Constitutional Court will be, and whatever I have to say, I will say it in Bulgaria,” he said.

The Supreme Court of Cassation on its part stated that dozens of reports against Ivan Geshev and his deputy and head of the National Investigation Service Borislav Sarafov had been lodged after the mechanism for the investigation of the prosecutor general came into force.
