 The Second State Court (1910–1914) and the Charges Against the Former Minister of War Mikhail Savov (1903–1907)Åvgeni Kostov ()
Proceedings of the Centre for Economic History Research, 2021, vol. 6, 136-146 Abstract: The Institute for constitutional Ministerial criminal liability in Bulgaria is based on article 155-159 from the Constitution of the Bulgarian Principality, adopted in 1879. It provides for a specific procedure through which the members of the government to be judged outside of the civil courts. From 1880 to 1923, through this procedure four trials were held. In this case, we focus on the work of the Second State Court (1910–1914). We explore potential law violations committed by ministers from the popular liberal government of Bulgaria, in the period of 1903–1908. Later, in 1913 year, the indictment, was published. This research study analyzes the supposed crimes of the former Minister of War Mikhail Savov that are subject to an indictment. The author comes to the conclusion that most of the allegations are unfounded. In 1914, as a result of political reasons, the decision of the Parliament was made to remove the criminal responsibility of the ministries.
