The court ordered the house arrest of Denislav Stanoev, who during the GERB conference showed aggression towards protesters and journalists. The decision was motivated by the evidence gathered and given the danger that he would commit another crime.
Stanoev, 20, was charged with hooliganism at GERB’s party rally last week. He was filmed showing aggression and pushing the phone of journalist Polina Paunova. The footage also shows the man beating protesters. Stanoev apologized and repented in front of the judicial panel today, “bTV’ informed.
„I want to apologize to the victims for what I did. I regret it and I did it out of great stupidity.“
At the same time, the Prosecutor’s Office demanded that the most severe measure be imposed on him – „Detention in custody„. However, the lawyer stated that there were no hooligan motives in his client’s behavior. According to him, his actions were provoked by his unwillingness and the unwillingness of the group he was with to be filmed by journalists.
Stanoev has 3 days to appeal.
