Asked whether this is not identical to the scandalous “Worms” development, in which the information files of the Ministry of Interior were drained, Rashkov explained that the scale is incomparable, as “Worms” is a one-time act, and there were 10 access to the operative information. -annual agreement. Here is what Boyko Rashkov said:
“I came across documents from 10 years ago, when Tsatsarov was chief prosecutor. He concluded an agreement with the then leadership of the Ministry of Interior, which was a successful attempt to circumvent the law on the protection of classified information.
The agreement provides for the possibility for state prosecutors appointed by the Prosecutor General to get acquainted with and read the operational developments of the employees of the Ministry of Interior. This means that if a worker acquires a signal and he registers an operational development, instead of being known only to him, it automatically becomes available to a designated prosecutor under this agreement. I have no idea what criteria this prosecutor is determined by. There is reason to emphasize that the Ministry of Interior is talking about the main activity, on the principle of conspiracy. This is a 10-year period in which the ministry itself has allowed secret information to be revealed.
I am beginning to study this question carefully. According to officials, prosecutors have said to stop working on a development. The law on the protection of classified information applies to prosecutors the “need to know” principle. And it refers to pre-trial cases.
This Agreement is no longer valid. Why the prosecutor’s office does not assume that by law, they do not have access to this information. “When the ‘elected’ prosecutors look at what is happening, how the information in the Ministry of Interior can be protected,” Minister Rashkov asked rhetorically.
He clarified that he would ask SANS and SCIS to check whether there is unauthorized access.
Regarding the election of Anton Zlatanov as head of the Interior Ministry, he mysteriously said: “In a few days I will answer you about Anton Zlatanov. It will be different. ”
The minister clarified that the prosecutor’s office applied the SRS not only against politically active people, but also against protesters. “The prosecutor’s office has adopted a legal qualification under Art. 95 of the Penal Code – a crime against the security of the Republic. This is a very difficult legal qualification with which our native prosecutor’s office has characterized the protest movement. The people who wanted to change the government and the chief prosecutor were characterized as criminals against the republic. ” Rashkov added that the number of eavesdropped and monitored is much higher than announced so far.
This crime has been listed since 1968. I do not know of anyone who has allowed himself to qualify this act. Such large-scale monitoring of the RCC has begun, which has forced the staff of the relevant RCC enforcement bodies to work overtime. This cost huge amounts of overtime. The employees were extremely busy, “added Boyko Rashkov.
