Justice Minister proposes Prosecutor General dismissed on disciplinary grounds

Minister of Justice, Andrey Yankulov, proposed to the Prosecutors College of the Supreme Judicial Council that a disciplinary dismissal should be imposed against Borislav Sarafov - de facto acting Prosecutor General of Bulgaria, over violations committed by him. The arguments are "a series of written statements involving the Prosecutor's Office, which have led to the deterioration of the prestige of the judiciary".

It is pointed out that despite the claims that evidence of a crime committed by the temporarily suspended Bulgarian European Prosecutor Teodora Georgieva has been discovered, she has not yet been brought as a defendant. Among other examples is Sarafov's statement, in which he compared the Petrohan case  with the series "Twin Peaks", reporter Silvia Velikova informed.
