Paragraf.bg reports that Sofia City Prosecutor's Office has brought criminal charges against an investigative police officer from SDBVR on suspicion of requesting and receiving a bribe of €500.
According to the evidence gathered, the police officer requested and accepted the money on 6 November at approximately 15:00 in Sofia, in the area of the intersection of boulevards "Hristo Botev" and "Todor Alexandrov". The sum was demanded in exchange for forwarding the pre-trial proceedings under his investigation to the prosecutor's office with an opinion for termination and assistance in concluding it.
The accused was brought to trial on 7 November. Due to a sharp deterioration in his state of health requiring hospitalisation, the court set a measure for non-deviation of a monetary guarantee in the amount of €3,000. The investigation is being conducted by the Investigative Department at Sofia City Prosecutor's Office under the supervision of the city prosecutor's office.
