President Rumen Radev has appealed to the Constitutional Court with a request to declare the Law on Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code, which creates a special prosecutor investigating the chief prosecutor or his deputy, unconstitutional, BTA has reported.

The introduction of the figure of a special prosecutor investigating the chief prosecutor or his deputy and the transfer of jurisdiction in these cases entirely to the Specialized Criminal Court affect basic constitutional values ​​such as the independence of prosecutors within the judiciary, the equality of citizens before the law and the prohibition of extraordinary courts, the request reads.
