President Rumen Radev issues decree dismissing Sotir Tsatsarov from post of prosecutor general

The Bulgarian head of state Rumen Radev has signed a decree on the dismissal of Sotir Tsatsarov as prosecutor general of the Republic of Bulgaria.

Immediately after the election, he filed his resignation with the Judicial Council. Officially, his term in the prosecutor's office expires on January 10, 2020, but he vacates the position a month earlier. The position of the Prosecutor General will be assumed by the newly elected Ivan Geshev.
