On an alleged corruption in Bulgarian courts and violation of the right to a fair trial 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner claims that there is corruption in Bulgarian courts and that public institutions are not effective. He also claims that debtors are being convicted in closed-door court hearings and are not afforded full legal protections to guarantee a proper right of defence. The petitioner alleges that a special storage room in the Sofia Regional Court contains archives of all private civil cases, including his case. The petitioner is calling on the European institutions to perform a thorough inspection of such storage rooms and the cases of many other Bulgarian citizens whose rights have been violated by the courts and private bailiffs.
