Outgoing chief prosecutor nominated to head Bulgaria’s anticorruption commission

The parties from the ruling coalition, GERB and United Patriots, on November 19 nominated the outgoing Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov to head the anti-corruption and criminal asset forfeiture commission.

Earlier today, Tsatsarov arrived in Parliament to the meeting of GERB and United Patriots MPs.

Another nomination for the same job has been made by Volya party. They have put forward the nomination of MP Simeon Naydenov.

The deadline for submission of nominations is November 20.

The office of the head of the anti-corruption commission has been vacant since July 31, 2019 when Plamen Georgiev’s resignation was accepted by Parliament.

After he left the anti-corruption commission, Georgiev was reinstated as prosecutor but shortly after that the government appointed him Bulgarian Consul in Valencia, Spain.
