Suddenly Tsoni Tsonev decided to withdraw from the Inspectorate to the Supreme Judicial Council. His motive: "My name is tainted!"
Tsonev was nominated by Krasimir Cipov - Parliament member from the ruling party GERB. Tsoni Tsonev and nine other candidates were elected to be the new judicial inspectors from January 16th, 2012. With respect to the public and media tension that was created regarding my nomination I state that none of the exposed facts are accurate and true. I am a man of dignity, a long time prosecutor and my entire career is guided by the principles of honesty and legality. With my position to withdraw I emphasize the fact that the procedure for nominations and elections of inspectors to the ISJC was transparent and open to the public and all institutions, commented Tsonev.
