Pazardzhik: Court to decide today whether three defendants will remain in custody after assault on police officers

The Pazardzhik Regional Court will convene today to decide whether three men will remain in custody. The case is scheduled for 14:00 in Hall No. 1 of the Judicial Palace. The defendants are Va K, 20, G G, 22, and G B, 45.

The District Court has already imposed a permanent detention measure, but the defendants are appealing this decision. The proceedings include accusations of assault and threats against police officers in the performance of their official duties. Georgiev is also accused of threats to kill against police officers.

The incident occurred around 23:30 on August 10 following a report of loud music and violation of nighttime quiet. During the check, a police team stopped a motorcyclist driving at dangerous speeds. A crowd gathered at the scene, began to assault the officers, and there were blows to the official vehicle.

Five police officers were injured. The first-instance court determined that there were sufficient data regarding the crimes committed and that the defendants might flee or commit new crimes. The rapporteur for the case today is junior judge Elena Petritchева.
