The Supreme Judicial Council, SJC, has ruled as admissible the proposal for the dismissal of Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev.

This means the start to the procedure for the early removal from office of the prosecutor general. The items discussed by the Supreme Judicial Council included the report by the Deputy Prosecutor General and head of the National Investigation Service Borislav Sarafov, who says that Ivan Geshev played a recording of a conversation with SJC member Yordan Stoev to 6 prosecutors and himself, and that the prosecutor general stated he had more than 150 audio recordings of politicians.

However, the Council has decided not to hear out the 6 prosecutors. There is one more report against Ivan Geshev submitted by 4 members of the SJC, who say the prosecutor general violated the Bulgarian magistrates’ code of ethics with his words from 15 May: “…by the way it is clear what the political trash in the National Assembly is like… and it is high time this, as I said, political trash was swept out.”
