An inspection by the General Directorate for Execution of Sentences (GDIN) shows that the head of the Regional Office for Execution of Sentences-Razgrad (RSIN) illegally took detainees out of custody. Disciplinary proceedings were instituted against him. This became known from a written response of the Acting Minister of Justice, Maria Pavlova, to a question from the People’s Representative, Antoaneta Tsoneva (“We are continuing the change-“Democratic Bulgaria”), published on the website of the parliament.
In the text of the answer, it is stated that on February 14, a report was received by the probation inspector to the RSIN regarding violations, abuse of power, and mental harassment by the head of the regional office.
By order of February 16 of the Chief Director of the State Department of Internal Affairs, a commission was appointed to carry out an on-site inspection in the period February 20-22. She found that the chief unlawfully took detainees out of custody, did not control the observance of working hours by employees of the district administration, and showed a rude and uncollegial attitude towards certain employees.
On March 6, the State Department of Internal Affairs received a new report from a prison guard in Razgrad regarding mental harassment by the supervisor in question. A check is also performed on this signal.
By order of the head of the Regional Service “Execution of Punishments” – Veliko Tarnovo (OSIN), disciplinary proceedings were initiated against the head with a deadline of April 26. In his reply, the Acting Minister of Justice assures that all necessary actions have been taken to clarify the case.
