"In a nutshell, a high-ranking prosecutor (Prosecutor Kolev) suspected that Bulgaria’s General Prosecutor Filchev was mentally ill and was abusing his office by opening bogus criminal proceedings. After raising a voice, he expected that he would be framed for drug possession and informed the Ministry of Interior and the Supreme Judicial Council, which appoints and promotes all magistrates and monitors their ethical values. They took no action. Shortly after, Kolev was indeed framed and kept in custody for an excessive period. Meanwhile, the abuse transferred onto his family members who were framed and charged by the Prosecutor’s Office too. Eventually, Prosecutor Kolev was released by the Supreme Court of Cassation, which held that his detention was inadmissible. He started his own investigation into the alleged illegal activities of General Prosecutor Filchev. This is when Kolev started fearing for his life and warned Bulgarian institutions that he could be murdered any moment. A year later, he was murdered in front of his own home; one of his colleagues working on the investigation into the dealings of the General Prosecutor was murdered a few days later. Years later, the ECtHR held that Bulgaria had breached Prosecutor Kolev’s right to liberty (Article 5 of the ECHR) and right to life (Article 2) because of the inefficient investigation into his murder."[1]
