Justice Minister informs Laura Kövesi on upcoming reforms for the activities of the European Public Prosecutor's Office in Bulgaria

Georgi Georgiev stated that his ministry has prepared a draft amendment to the Criminal Code, which ensures the effective functioning of the European Public Prosecutor's Office in Bulgaria and overcomes the identified problems in the activities of delegated prosecutors related to the qualification of criminal encroachments involving European Union funds. The changes transpose the European directive on combating fraud affecting the financial interests of the EU.

It is planned that the criminal law will also cover EU employees, as well as create qualified chambers for mismanagement and crimes of office related to EU funds and affecting the financial interests of the Union.
