The European Public Prosecutor's Office is launching an administrative investigation into the Bulgarian European Prosecutor Teodora Georgieva.
"We are talking about an administrative investigation, not a criminal one. The main thing is that it will be checked to what extent the Bulgarian representative in the European Public Prosecutor's Office complies with the requirement for independence. When talking about independence, it must be taken into account whether there are any connections, dependencies on one person or another. Everyone who is interested has watched both the first and second videos. There is no answer as to whether it is her," said the former director of the National Investigation and former Deputy Prosecutor General Boyko Naydenov in the studio of "Denyat ON AIR".
He himself has no doubt that the video with Pepi Euro is Teodora Georgieva.
"For two weeks she has not answered the question of whether it is her. An expert examination can be done within 2-3 days. The unpleasant side is that most likely, if she was there then, it was not recorded only then and it was not only from this camera. When you seek help to be appointed to some position from persons who are not personnel officers, then you are offering some kind of exchange. If you get this post, you will most likely do some favor," Naydenov added on Bulgaria ON AIR.
According to him, there is another problem - that it is most likely not only her.
"This problem will be for all the people who have passed through this sofa, because tomorrow their faces may be shown. The answers can be given by two people, but one is being sought. To what extent he is being sought is another question,", emphasized the former Deputy Prosecutor General. Naydenov assumes that the leaked recordings are from a security camera, since it is in the corner.
"It says "Camera 1", I am sure there is also "Camera 2", "Camera 3". I expect the European Public Prosecutor's Office to finish its investigation quite quickly and to conclude with the recall of the colleague. Most likely, they will send the signal to the Bulgarian prosecutor's office, which is the only one that can investigate whether or not a crime has been committed. The words she utters publicly must be supported by evidence, otherwise everyone can say whatever they want," the guest emphasized.
He is of the opinion that Teodora Georgieva's position, sent to the media, speaks volumes.
"This means that she is not ready to meet face to face even with journalists. Many questions could be asked. The appointment of a guard means absolutely nothing. In my practice, I have watched over 120 executions that had guards. But this is not about whether the colleague finds the strength to take responsibility if she has done something wrong and to say so," added Boyko Naydenov.
The former deputy prosecutor general revealed that Bulgaria has the most judge-prosecutors per capita in all of Europe: "The judicial systems work with varying efficiency, but not to our advantage. This is not new, some vicious practices began back in the 1990s".
