Bulgaria’s Counter Corruption and Unlawfully Acquired Assets Forfeiture Commission launched an investigation against Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev following alerts about potential breaches of the law.

The anti-corruption commission has launched the investigation in response to media statements by this country’s Minister of Justice Nadezhda Yordanova who claims that she has received many alerts about Prosecutor General Geshev allegedly having breached the law.

Meanwhile, Bulgaria’s Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev insisted that European prosecutors and experts conduct an independent analysis of the high profile cases that are being dealt with by the Specialized Prosecutor's Office. Ivan Geshev's request comes against the background of the discussed amendments to the Judiciary Act, which provide for the closure of the Specialized Court and Specialized Prosecutor’s Office.
