Kiril Petkov
Kiril Petkov has officially submitted a waiver of his parliamentary immunity to the registry of the 51st National Assembly, a move confirmed by the press center of the parliament.

The request was made at the suggestion of the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office in relation to an ongoing investigation.
In a post on social media, Petkov had announced his intention to waive his immunity and followed through with the action on the same day.
