The Sofia Court of Appeal has remanded the Mayor of Varna, Blagomir Kotsev, in custody. The detention measure remains unchanged.
The decision was issued with a dissenting opinion from one of the members of the judicial panel — Judge Andrey Angelov.
According to Judge Angelov, Kotsev should be placed under a “recognizance” (obligation to report regularly) instead.
The Mayor of the largest city and seaside resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast was detained on July 8 under a police order tied to an investigation by the Anti-Corruption Commission and Sofia City Prosecution Office. He has been held in custody since then.
