This is happening at the request of acting chief prosecutor Borislav Sarafov, who is demanding his dismissal. Yordan Stoev, Georgi Kuzmanov and Gergana Mutafova were elected members of the composition.

Already at the end of March, Sarafov demanded the most severe disciplinary punishment for Krastev because of his “numerous disciplinary violations and systematic failure to fulfill his official duties.

The inspectors found violations of the random selection in the allocation of cases, as 74 files and pre-trial proceedings were allocated to a prosecutor on duty, instead of randomly. Again, in violation of these rules, files for the execution of 15 sentences were also allocated.

By Krastev’s orders, groups were also set up at the military investigators for the random allocation of cases, although at that time, according to the Law on the Judiciary, investigators could only carry out investigations on pre-trial proceedings, but not on files.

During the inspection, it was also established that certified copies of secondment orders were required from state institutions and it was ordered that the materials for each seconded person be filed under a separate number as a separate file.

“As a result of the letters, 1,561 files were created in the State Prosecutor’s Office-Sofia, which led to a distortion of the data on the workload of the prosecutors, including the data on the average workload of all district prosecutors’ offices,” said Borislav Sarafov.

In violation of the Civil Procedure Code, Adalbert Krastev also prepared dozens of unmotivated proposals to the Military Appellate Prosecutor’s Office-Sofia to carry out an instance control of acts of prosecutors from the Military Appeals Office-Sofia, reports Dir.bg
