President Rumen Radev has called for the creation of a single body to fight high-level corruption. This is, in his words, one of the prerequisites for a genuine judicial reform in Bulgaria.
Radev says that the judicial reform concept and the anti-corruption law lack sufficient political will for fighting high-level corruption:
"It is high time we had a clear, high-precision body that will solve the problems of collecting and analyzing information, of investigating, of preparing an indictment that will hold up in court. This body must comprise people with the competences of the State Agency for National Security, the competences of the investigating officers, IT experts, experts in the sphere of finance and banking. People, working as a team with sufficient powers, with high salaries who will look into all major, dubious public contracts.”
Radev also commented the question whether the Presidential National Protection Service should make an additional investigation into the loosened bolts of the car of the Chairman of the Supreme Court of Cassation Lozan Panov:
“I cannot pretend to be an expert on bolts, tyres or tyre rims. There are technical reports for that, the prosecutor's office. To my mind this is a smoke screen for the big issue - the judicial reform.”
