Beating of Ministry of Interior Director in Ruse

The assault on Nikolay Kozhuharov, Director of the Ministry of Interior in Ruse, carried out by four young individuals, continues to draw important public attention. Conflicting accounts are emerging, and the case has deeply divided public opinion in Ruse.

Lawyer Lyudmil Rangelov responded to Interior Minister Daniel Mitov’s statement that the court’s decision to detain the arrested individuals was indicative of their actions. Rangelov argues that Mitov’s comment is inappropriate and potentially prejudicial, as it appears to pre-judge the outcome of the legal proceedings. He emphasized the importance of due process and the presumption of innocence.

Rangelov further criticized the Minister for seemingly attempting to influence public perception of the case. He stated that such statements undermine trust in the judicial system and coudl compromise the fairness of the trial. He believes the focus should remain on gathering evidence and allowing the court to reach a verdict based on facts, not on political commentary.

The inquiry is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the motives behind the attack. Initial reports suggest a possible connection to a previous incident involving Kozhuharov and the individuals involved, but this remains unconfirmed. The public is awaiting further details as the case progresses.
