During 2025, a total of 170 private criminal cases were initiated for requests to use special investigative means (SIM), submitted by the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior - Pazardzhik, the District Prosecutor's Office - Pazardzhik, the General Directorate of Prisons - Ministry of Interior - Sofia, and the Directorate "Internal Security" at the Ministry of Interior, according to the annual report of the District Court-Pazardzhik.
The number of cases received is 6 fewer compared to 2024, when there were 176. The permits granted for requests for SIM under Article 21, paragraph 1 of the SIS Act are 108, 4 denials were issued, and the permits under Article 21, paragraph 2 of the SIS Act are 58. The individuals for whom permits were issued to use SIM are 102.
The number of permits granted for the use of SIM continues to be relatively high this reporting year as well, and this fact is primarily due to the actions of the investigative bodies. An additional factor is the closure of the Specialized Criminal Court in July 2022, as also stated in the annual report.
