Ivan Georgiev Hristov was remanded in custody by the District Court of Burgas because of the arson of the construction equipment of the company “Berks 2004” on March 25 of this year, writes “Flagman”.
According to the prosecutor’s office, the 47-year-old from Burgas had unclear financial relationships with the company of Burgas entrepreneur Atanas Angelov. The two parties owned common property, which they could never divide.
The dispute escalated after, at the end of March, Ivan organized and carried out the burning of a shed and an “Iveko” truck worth BGN 130,000.
Criminalists from the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Burgas, the Fifth RU and employees of the Institute of Psychology identified the perpetrator after a flawless investigation. The evidence gathered against him was solid enough for the prosecutor’s office to request his permanent arrest today. The district court granted the request. The decision can be appealed to an appellate authority.
Ivan Georgiev Hristov is 47 years old, from the “Izgrev” residential area, and it is clear from his file that he has been criminally convicted and convicted. Today he was defended by his relatives in a courtroom, but they were burned by the news that Ivan could end up behind bars for a long time. He is charged under Article 330 of the Criminal Code and faces a sentence of 1 to 8 years, but given his record and the damage he has caused, he will certainly receive a rather harsh punishment.
