Allegations of corruption and abuse of power

In 2002, Bulgaria’s Prosecutor-General initiated investigations into several high-profile ministers, including former Finance Minister Muravey Radev, on suspicion of corruption or abuse of office. Justice Minister Anton Stankov on 27 June, 2002, accused the Prosecutor-General Nikola Filchev of persecuting Radev for political ends. No subsequent developments — such as official charges, trials, convictions, or substantiated findings — followed, as the Prosecutor-General was changed.^[5]
