“We also discussed other topics that affect the legal system in Bulgaria, such as specialized justice. It is clear that it is more a political than a legal issue, I am talking about a solution to the issue, “he added.
According to him, Laura Coveschi’s finding is that specialized justice is unnecessary and that whether it exists depends more on the proposal of the Minister of Justice, the Government and Parliament.
“The other important thing that was mentioned – Koveshi explicitly stated that certain crimes are being prosecuted. It does not have a list of people who should be held accountable, but it should be known that there is a need for inspections and investigations at the highest levels of government. And they must end quickly and with a clear result “, Stoilov was categorical.
„The European Prosecutor’s Office has received a number of signals from Bulgaria, but perhaps those who deserve more attention will only become clear, “he added.
„What Koveshi expects is to have cooperation not only with the prosecutor’s office, but also with other bodies in Bulgaria, including those from the system of the Ministry of Interior.which is right for me “, the Minister noted.
Whether he expects the next parliament to replace the chief prosecutor and the SJC were sensitive issues. “There is still more than a year to the expiration of the mandate of the Supreme Judicial Council, so it depends on the development of the situation in the country, the effectiveness of these bodies and the various positions held by political forces. There is no need for me to make predictions. Ask the question to the political parties, “he said.
The issue with the Bulgarian list of those sanctioned under Magnitsky had two sides – factual and legal. The actual – who are these companies, in what relationships they are and what is their activity. “That’s why we’re researching. So far we have not found any companies that work with the ministry, but it has a wider staff than the so-called. secondary administrators. In the coming days, we expect it to be clear whether other agencies and structures at the Ministry of Justice have contracts with companies that came under fire from Magnitsky. The legal issue – we should not close our eyes that any such measures must be compatible with the Bulgarian legal order, “said Yanaki Stoilov.
“I sent a signal to the chief prosecutor for the case of the man who was raped in our prison and I appointed an inspection in the places of imprisonment, but several other cases of similar violations were identified and from now on our attention is focused on conducting an inspection of public procurement in places of imprisonment, “said the caretaker Minister of Justice.
