Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Bulgaria: Investigated corruption crimes and counteracting corruption

Abstract

The Bulgarian Prosecutor's Office shall ensure that legality is observed by bringing charges against criminal suspects and supporting the charges in indictable cases; overseeing the enforcement of penalties and other measures of compulsion; taking action for the rescision of all unlawful acts and for restoration in urgent cases of unwarrantedly exercised right, contested also by another; taking part in civil and administrative suits whenever required to do so by law. The main activity of the Bulgarian Prosecutor's Office, prosecuting and bringing charges against specific individuals, is unthinkable without the operational capacity of the executive bodies. In exercising its powers of detecting a specific criminal activity, it is necessary to establish a number of data, which will then be collected as evidence and verified in the course of criminal proceedings. This activity is worth much by detecting crimes of corruption.
