Simon Harris Makes History as Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister
In a historic turn of events, Simon Harris has been appointed as Ireland's youngest-ever prime minister, following a parliamentary vote on Monday
Bulgaria’s Chief Prosecutor Boris Velchev has declared there was no way he could punish a prosecutor for making a deal with a defendant detained recently in police operation “Killers”.
On Tuesday, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Boyko Borisov urged Velchev to inspect the case Metodi Ivanov, known as the “armorer” of the “Killers”, a recently busted group of paid assassins suspected for the June murder of football club president Yuriy Galev.
Two years ago Ivanov was offered a deal by the prosecution, and was sentenced to 2.5 years of probation for keeping illegal weapons.
“I can’t imagine there is any way I can demand a punishment for the prosecutor who made the probation deal with Metodi Ivanov,” stated the Chief Prosecutor on Wednesday pointing out that he had no legal means to do that as the law provided the option for the prosecution to make deals with defendants who confessed their guilt.
Velchev further said that the prosecutor in question who made the probation deal with the Killers’ armorer had left the Prosecutor’s Office 1.5 years ago.
With respect to another case in which local media reported that a prosecutor from the town of Byala Slatina had beaten up a teacher, Velchev said it was under investigation, and that there will be a harsh punishment if the man is proven guilty.
