Acting Prosecutor General of the Republic of Bulgaria Borislav Sarafov is on a working visit to the United States from 10th to 14th of December 2024. The visit is at the invitation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and is an expression of Sarafov's commitment and long-standing cooperation, even in his capacity as Director of the National Investigation Service, with the US partner services.
In Washington, Borislav Sarafov will have meetings with representatives of American law enforcement institutions.
The Prosecutor General will also participate in the Graduation Ceremony of the participants of the 292nd session of the FBI National Academy at the Headquarters in Quantico, Virginia. This year, among the graduates of the FBI Academy is Georgi Trenchev, an investigator in the Investigation Department of Sofia City Prosecutor's Office.
The inclusion of a Bulgarian magistrate in the FBI Academy training was agreed during Borislav Sarafov's previous visit to Washington, USA, in May of this year. At that time, the Acting Prosecutor General was awarded an honorary diploma by FBI Director Christopher Wray for his personal contribution to the successful cooperation between the Bulgarian Prosecution and investigative authorities and the Bureau in combating international organized crime. In 2021 and 2022, Borislav Sarafov was also awarded by his American partners for successful investigations on computer crimes.
