The Socialist majority has approved in the Laws Committee the resolution on the Special Prosecution Office (SPAK), asking this institution to change the way it requests security measures and the way it acts towards persons under investigation. The document was approved only with the votes of the Socialists, while the opposition MPs strongly opposed it, calling it “a political intervention” and “a mockery of justice”.
The resolution provides for "the unification and standardization of the investigation methodology, regarding the taking of evidence and the requirements for security measures", referring to the decisions of the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
Another part of it calls for increasing the efficiency of the National Bureau of Investigation, by filling vacancies and ensuring the necessary logistics for its full functioning. The document also foresees the establishment of a working group with the General Prosecutor's Office, SHISH and other law enforcement agencies to analyze organized crime groups and prepare a strategy to fight them domestically and abroad.
In relation to the May 11 elections, the Parliament requests a full analysis of the work of the Investigative Task Force from SPAK, in cooperation with the General Prosecutor's Office and the Central Election Commission, to assess the effectiveness of the measures taken and to strengthen the fight against electoral crimes in future processes.
