Summary/Abstract: The Institute for constitutional Ministerial criminal liability in Bulgaria is based on article 155–159 from the Constitution of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, adopted in 1879. It provides for a specific procedure through which the members of the government to be judged outside of the civil courts. The whole procedure has been developed in the Law for trial of ministers, adopted in October 1880. The Second State Court (1910–1914) examines possible crimes of ministers of the Second People’s Liberal Government (1903–1908). As a source for writing the article, the author uses the indictment of the Second State Court. This article examines the initiative of the then Minister of Trade and Agriculture N. Genadiev to grand a concession for oil refining in Bulgaria and the reasons why it does not take place. The Bulgarian government considers that the concession will harm Bulgaria. A monopoly of the oil trade will be formed in the country.
