Bulgaria’s Justice Minister has formally requested the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) review the judicial rehabilitation of a convicted pedophile. The action follows reports in the “24 Chasa” newspaper detailing the man’s subsequent employment as a school security guard. Concerns were raised after the individual, having undergone rehabilitation, was assigned to a position involving the supervision of children. The Minister’s referral to the SJC questions the appropriateness of the initial rehabilitation decision given the later employment circumstances. This case has sparked public outcry and debate regarding the criteria and oversight of judicial rehabilitation processes in Bulgaria. The SJC will now investigate the matter and determine if the rehabilitation was lawfully granted and if any procedural errors occurred. The Minister seeks clarification on how such an individual could be cleared for a role with access to vulnerable children.
