President Rumen Radev has signed a decree for the dismissal of Ivan Geshev from the position of prosecutor general of the Republic of Bulgaria, the press office of the Bulgarian head of state announced.

At the beginning of the week, the Supreme Judicial Council voted to remove Ivan Geshev from the post of prosecutor general with 16 votes "for" and 4 votes "against", after the National Assembly changed the required number of votes for his release from 17 to 13. 
As grounds for the early dismissal of Ivan Geshev from the post of chief prosecutor of the republic, the magistrates point to "actions that damage the prestige of the judiciary". 

The Supreme Judicial Council sent its decision to the head of state Rumen Radev, who in turn signed a decree on the dismissal of the prosecutor general.
 
After the presidential decree, the final decision rests with the Constitutional Court, which must rule on the case of the removal of the chief prosecutor.
Ivan Geshev took office as Bulgaria's prosecutor general in early 2020, with a seven-year term.
