A mechanism for holding the Prosecutor General criminally liable is being established, Bulgaria's caretaker Minister of Justice Krum Zarkov announced at a briefing at the Council of Ministers. This mechanism provides for a criminal judge from the Supreme Court of Cassation, a court of appeal or a district court, with the rank of a judge from the Supreme Court of Cassation, to head an investigation against the prosecutor general or his deputy when there is a need for this.
This ad hoc prosecutor will be appointed as a prosecutor at the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of Cassation and will be selected randomly. In Minister Zarkov's words, an internal prosecutorial control over the actions of this special prosecutor will also be introduced. It will be carried out by another criminal judge from the Supreme Court of Cassation.
