\n Recently <\/span>
\n<\/span>, BIRD <\/span>
\n achieved <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n
\n an important victory<\/b>
\n <\/span>
\n<\/span> transparency and publicity in the so-called. Specialized justice. What exactly, we’ll tell you in a moment \u2013 but let’s first trace the chronology of the problem. At the end of 2017, through one of its many <\/span><\/span>Legislative Scodomes<\/b><\/span><\/span>, parliament “banned” to publish final effective verdicts in criminal cases. The changes were then voted under <\/span><\/span>The obvious pressure<\/b><\/span><\/span> of the prosecution \u2013 which, as we have long known, can pass the adoption of any laws it wants, although it does not have a formal right of legal initiative. Here is the time to recall that one of the proposals in the draft new Constitution, launched by GERB last September, was precisely to give such an initiative to the Prosecutor’s Office. That was maybe <\/span><\/span>The most harmful idea<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> in this arrogant and unfortunate premature ness of a project written on his knees by “the best lawyer of GERB” \u2013 i.e. from the anti-legal phenomenon gained popularity in society with the nickname <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Barney Rubble<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of these amendments to the Judiciary Act, the Supreme Court of Cassation was practically forbidden to publish its convictions before obtaining “permission” from the Prosecutor’s Office. The logic that this will stop the escapes of the convicted is not even worthy of comment. Famous fugitives from justice, such as the so-called. <\/span><\/span>brothers Galevi and Evelyn Banev<\/b><\/span><\/span> (Brendo), probably in their lives have not visited the website of the SCC. Nor was there any need for them to do so. Brendo, for example, did not even appear in a hall of last resort. So here the real \u2014 and we would say quite transparent aim \u2014 is to make it easier for the prosecution to score points in front of the public. That is, the sentence will be published only after (or if) the prosecutor’s office has secured the entry of the convict to prison. Only then will the prosecutor <\/span><\/span>
\n
\n He deigned to allow<\/b>
\n <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n the court to publish his sentence.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Before and during the adoption of these changes<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>, a number of respected lawyers<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>, as well as the judges of the SCC itself, spoke <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>against<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/span>. However, this did not stop the legislative fervor and momentum of Barney Rubble, then in his capacity as head of a legal committee in parliament. The bigger problem, however, came later. In an effort to show themselves “more Turks than the Turks”, the heads of a number of courts began to interpret the new law quite broadly, or as well as “<\/span><\/span>The Devil Reads the Gospel<\/b><\/span><\/span>“Namely, they ordered that no convictions should be published, incl. and in the first and second instances. And this despite the fact that the law clearly states that the ban applies only to final convictions. And since criminal cases of general nature (NOHD) in Bulgaria are necessarily tri-instance, then obviously this cannot apply to the acts of the court of first and second instance. As a striking example in this respect, we will point to the recent effective sentence of <\/span><\/span>Lord of the chicken coop<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> in the Sea Garden Veselin Mareshki, who together with her motives was published in its entirety on the website of the Court of Appeal Varna.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

On Cherkovna Street<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Let’s see how things are in <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>the Specialized Criminal Court<\/b>.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> (SNA). Although it has been in existence since 2012, it was only in the last few years that this vessel gained momentum and set off “with 200” \u2013 and this as a result of the <\/span><\/span>
\n
\n the avalanche extension<\/b>
\n <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n of the scope <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n
\n of its competences <\/b>
\n <\/span>
\n<\/span> and the types of cases he has the right to hear. That’s how the so-called cases went there. Corruption under “<\/span><\/span>High Levels of Power<\/b><\/span><\/span>“. There are no special results in this area so far, if we exclude the verdict against one <\/span><\/span>Sofia Regional Mayor<\/b><\/span><\/span>Which, of course, is not from GERB. The judgment against <\/span><\/span>
\n
\n Jivko Sudjuka<\/b>
\n <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n from GERB, which Ivan Geshev timidly boasted of in July last year at the height of the protests against him, is only conditional and has not entered into force.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Subsequently, the SNA also launched the cases for distraints and precautionary measures, which were traditionally heard by the Sofia City Court and the SAS. This trend is detailed <\/span><\/span>described<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/span> by Capital, but at the heart of it all seemed to be the fact that the specialized Geshev blade Angel Kanev<\/strong> unpleasantly hit a stone in the hated Sofia City Court with a request for distraints of the deposed Vasil Bozhkov. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> No court, no problem <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> “As Comrade Gesch would say…” sorry, Stalin. In this case, we simply choose a new, “reliable” court by changing the law and jurisdiction. I think this actually <\/span><\/span>It makes this court extraordinary<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>, but make it go, because there is no one to refer <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> the matter to the Constitutional Court<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And a few months ago, the SNA was also endowed with new, even more powerful powers. Namely, here the National Assembly envisaged hearing the cases of the new delegated European prosecutors. The reason why there are no problems. If any gerber or any other person of ours is conspicuously consecrated <\/span><\/span>with both hands in the Euro-Meda barrel<\/b><\/span><\/span>, there will still have to be a case, there is no way, at least from the best man shame for the “foreigners”, i.e. for the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. But with the help of the SNA, we will ensure that <\/span><\/span>the sentence will be light and at most conditional<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> \u2013 just like in Sudjuka. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> The technology of crushing cases<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> Already in the judicial phase it has been worked out by the prosecutor’s office to perfection. Although it is more difficult to sabotage a case, since it is already in court, the prosecution has extensive and valuable experience in this regard \u2013 it is enough to recall all the cases against the famous <\/span><\/span>Tsvetanov<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>, as well as the silently killed by prescription “<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>SAPARD case<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>“” just a few weeks ago. As for the case against <\/span><\/span>Hristo Bisserov<\/b><\/span><\/span> Better not to mention. Of course, the logo turns if and when one of the “bad guys” (read the opposition) has to be hit by misuse of EU funds. Then the prosecution will do the impossible \u2013 for example, it will fly <\/span><\/span>in space with a diesel rocket<\/b><\/span><\/span> \u2013 to achieve a severe sentence. However, the question remains whether and to what extent it will succeed, even in the SNA. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How transparent and accountable is the SNA<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Against the backdrop of <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> the super-powers<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> of, but also the over-expectations of the SNA, <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/span> had <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>a dissenting opinion<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>. of the presiding judge. As an example of cases with hidden sentences can be pointed out <\/span><\/span>Article<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span> <\/b>
\n on <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n
\n NOW<\/b>
\n <\/span>
\n<\/span>, although there are many more similar hidden acts, as those on the deeds of Zhivko Sudjuka and Rumen Ovcharov. Apart from that, the verdict on the loud case was hidden “<\/span><\/span>The Untouchables<\/b><\/span><\/span>“, where Ivan Geshev had an active participation. This case was also the subject of separate material in <\/span><\/span>
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n Bivol<\/b>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/a>
\n <\/u>
\n<\/span>
\n .<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

BIRD <\/span>asked Marieta Raykova, President of the SNA, about the hidden sentences. A few days later we received a reply to the effect that the law prohibits their publication (which is not actually true for the first and second instances), but <\/span><\/span>At the request of journalists<\/b><\/span><\/span> There was no problem in providing them. Indeed, the next day after receiving Judge Raykova’s answer, we again checked the website of the SNA. The verdicts in the cases mentioned by us (but only on them) have already been published. For the sake of transparency and <\/span><\/span>
\n
\n In the spirit of collegiality<\/b>
\n <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n , we provide a short list below for the convenience of those interested:<\/span>

    \n <\/u>
    \n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


    \n However, it is noteworthy, for example, that in the case of Grisha Ganchev cannot be found the above-mentioned <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n
    \n dissenting opinion<\/b>
    \n <\/span>
    \n<\/span> of Judge Lilia Georgieva, nor on what it is based. Thus, the question remains open as to why this already announced dissenting opinion remains hidden in the final judicial act.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, with Ushev<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Things are a little different under the umbrella of specialized justice \u2013 the Specialized Criminal Court of Appeal (SACC). It stands out that acquittals are also not published there \u2013 for example, <\/span><\/span>
    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n that<\/b>
    \n <\/span>
    \n <\/span>
    \n <\/a>
    \n <\/u>
    \n<\/span>
    \n of former Deputy Minister Hristo Angelichin, who is already <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n judging<\/b>
    \n <\/span>
    \n <\/span>
    \n <\/a>
    \n <\/u>
    \n<\/span> The prosecutor’s office for 100,000 leva. In this respect, the SNA and the SACC are “in solidarity” with each other, although this is <\/span><\/span>misunderstood solidarity<\/b><\/span><\/span>. To put it bluntly, the reasons why the prosecutor’s office has “screwed up” are hidden \u2013 or have brought charges for acts that were not originally composed!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    With the SACC, however, things go even further<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>: there lie specific definitions (not even sentences or decisions) in specific cases relating to, generally speaking, “<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>the enemies of the people<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>“. That is, with people and companies, <\/span><\/span>designated and appointed in advance by the Attorney General<\/b><\/span><\/span> and its offshoots for criminals \u2014 often complete with copious and irrigation dispersal in the media space of pretrial material. Something that has become <\/span><\/span>Trademark of the Prosecutor’s Office<\/b><\/span><\/span> Since Geshev came to power. For example, for <\/span><\/span>
    \n
    \n Atanas Bobokov<\/b>
    \n <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n and <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n
    \n Emilian Gebrev<\/b>
    \n <\/span>
    \n<\/span> BIRD <\/span> He found out about a total of at least 4 definitions that are hidden. For Bobokov there is a definition for which we have information that concerns <\/span><\/span>
    \n
    \n distraint of a company share<\/b>
    \n <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n at the request of <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n
    \n KPKONPI<\/b>
    \n <\/span>
    \n<\/span>. There are three definitions for Gebrev that concern <\/span><\/span>Distraints of his accounts<\/b><\/span><\/span> and translations to EMCO, which is his(!) own company. The attachments in this case were imposed at the request of the <\/span><\/span>SANS<\/b><\/span><\/span>. However, the content and motives of these acts of the SACC remain a mystery \u2013 and we can only guess about them. According to information from <\/span><\/span>BIRD, <\/span>
    \n interest in these (and other hidden) acts of the SACC have also been shown by colleagues from other media \u2013 but have not received <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n
    \n any answers to their inquiries<\/b>
    \n <\/span>
    \n<\/span>. That is why we find it pointless in turn to ask. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    It is obvious that the court of Georgi Ushev keeps stubbornly silent on the subject. Perhaps because the motives of these acts are something like “<\/span><\/span>because that’s what the prosecution says and<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span> so wants”, so “<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>who are we to contradict her<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>“. At the same time, Georgi Ushev himself has not been able to write for 13 months. <\/span><\/span>the decision<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/u><\/p>\n

    <\/span> in the notorious <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>Tsenko Chokov<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span> case and its OCG. We can assume with a high degree of probability that whenever this decision comes out, it will also not be published on the website of the SACC. So much on the issue of transparency and accountability of the highest instance of specialised justice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
