The figure of a prosecutor in the investigation against the Prosecutor General is unconstitutional, according to an opinion of the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee on the case filed in the Constitutional Court to establish if recent changes to the Judiciary Act and the Criminal Procedure Code contradict the basic law. The new texts were adopted by GERB and the United Patriots at the end of the work of the last parliament, while President Rumen Radev signaled the Constitutional Court. According to the human rights organization, in order for control over the chief prosecutor to be possible at all, his powers must be limited. However, this could not happen with a legal figure contradicting by the Constitutional Court.
