At today’s meeting, which was closed to journalists, as a witness, I.F. chief prosecutor Borislav Sarafov, but he did not come, as he is on a long-planned business trip to Pernik. Judge Vladislava Tsarigradska was also called as a witness, but she also did not appear.
Slavov’s lawyer Zlatka Ivanova pointed out to the media that her client wished the case to continue, but the activity of the National Assembly does not provide for the possibility of lifting parliamentary immunity in cases of a private nature, but only in those of a general nature.
According to her, such an opportunity can be regulated by law. Today it is demonstrated that even if the deputies want to consider the case, they cannot achieve this, at least the judicial practice is like that, the human rights defender pointed out.
Mr. Slavov is not worried about this case, the lawyer also said and specified that his words regarding Ivan Geshev are based on the statement of I.F. chief prosecutor Borislav Sarafov.
Lawyer Ivanova also commented that the case received secret materials from the National Security Service (NSS), as well as a response from the First Regional Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Sofia, that they did not have any information submitted by Ivan Geshev’s security, that it was next.
In front of the media, the former Prosecutor number one noted that “the court considered that it should stop the proceedings” because Atanas Slavov has immunity.
“There is information, confirmed, that I am being followed by persons related to Martin Bojanov – the Notary. It is marked “classified information”, so the case was closed to journalists. So much for how much I know the Notary and how connected I am with him,” Geshev added. According to him, the NSOs have confirmed the specific information, as well as a reference from an MIA official at that time is attached.
