BTA The Parliament approved at first reading the appointment of a new figure of an investigative prosecutor who will investigate the Prosecutor General, with an appendix to the Criminal Procedure Code (NPC) submitted by Krasimir Tsipov of GERB. 100 MPs voted in favor, 46 were against (mainly of the Bulgarian Socialist Party) and 10 abstained, BTA reported. This person must have the status of acting prosecutor with the full powers under Bulgarian law, similar to the European Delegated Prosecutors. It is envisaged that this Prosecutor will have a seven-year term, be nominated by not less than six members of the Prosecutor's College of the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) and elected by the Plenum of the SJC by a simple majority.
