Influencer Stoyan Kolev Remains Under House Arrest After Court Decision in Pazardzhik

The Pazardzhik Regional Court confirmed the Regional Court’s ruling and kept Stoyan Kolev under house arrest. The influencer himself did not appear in the courtroom during the session.

Prosecutor Paun Savov pointed out that Kolev is a person who violates the laws of the country, and a measure of detention should be replaced with house arrest.

The case began after an incident on the Trakia motorway near Pazardzhik on June 16, when a signal was received that Kolev waved a weapon through the hatch of his car. Upon his detention, a positive field test for narcotic substances was recorded, and he was held for up to 72 hours.

The Pazardzhik Regional Prosecutor's Office brought two charges against him: driving a motor vehicle after consuming narcotic substances and hooliganism on the road. The Regional Court did not accept his appeal for a lighter measure and ordered him to remain under house arrest. The decision is final and not subject to appeal.
