Bulgarian Chief Prosecutor Survives Bomb Attack on Motorcade

Bulgaria's chief prosecutor, Ivan Geshev, escaped unharmed after a bomb exploded near his car in what officials are calling a targeted attack. The bomb had a large TNT equivalent and was placed at a bend in the road where traffic had to slow. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and forensic investigators have begun working at the scene. Geshev was the target of widespread protests in 2020, with protesters accusing him of failing to prosecute a corrupt mafia elite that had infiltrated the country's establishment.
