He has been charged with two counts of disorderly conduct and threatening to kill
Journalist Dimitar Stoyanov was released on bail for BGN 5,000.
The Sofia District Prosecutor’s Office prosecuted 43-year-old Stoyanov for hooliganism and threatening to kill with a combat pistol.
After a report was filed about a conflict between two persons, a pre-trial proceeding was initiated as a matter of urgency in the Fifth RU – Sofia. In the course of it, it was established that on 22/04/2024, on “Vasil Petleshkov” Street in the capital, the accused threatened to kill P.L. by pointing a combat pistol at his head. The threat aroused reasonable fear in the man, the court reported.
It was established that Stoyanov’s actions were obscene, grossly violating public order and expressing clear disrespect for society, as, in addition to pulling out a combat pistol in a public place, he also inflicted numerous blows with his feet and hands on the head and body of P.L. The accused also made many insulting remarks about the man, threatening to “break his head”.
So far, in the course of the investigation, witnesses have been questioned and Stoyanov’s home has been searched, during which two combat pistols and a carbine have been found and seized. A supervising prosecutor has given instructions for the preparation of three expertises – video-technical, ballistic and forensic-medical.
