The Sofia city court took Christian Nikolov into custody, causing a serious accident in which journalist Milen Tsvetkov died.
The reasons are that he may be hiding or committing another crime. The magistrates did not accept his request for a lenient measure so that he could complete his education. Attend the meeting via the video link, which is a requirement during a state of emergency.
Nikolov has already been charged and will be responsible for intentionally causing death.
Research showed that the 22-year-old man was driving under the influence of four types of blood intoxicants: cannabis, amphetamines, cocaine and lexotane. According to the doctors, the intake was 24 hours before the examination, during which period the catastrophe entered.
According to the court, a reasonable assumption can be made that Nikolov caused the accident. Although the 22-year-old man’s lawyer, Lubomir Takov, said there was no clear evidence of this and even another driver may have driven the car.
The lawyer indicated that Tsvetkov’s death may have occurred not from the accident, but after eyewitnesses to the incident removed him from the car.
For their decision, the magistrates relied on the testimony of several witnesses who described the incident in detail. The technical video experience is still incomplete, the court said, noting that it would be of particular concern to the impact mechanism.
Christian’s mother, Desislava Nikolova, stated that she was out of Sofia from April 15 to 19.
During the meeting, it became clear that Christian refused to participate in the identification and provided biological material for the sample.
The court believes that Nikolov was aware of the risk he was taking after taking all four types of narcotic drugs. But there is no evidence that he has mental health problems.
“When the author does not want socially dangerous consequences or does not want to come, but violates traffic regulations, it is considered that he knowingly allows it, that is, there is a possible intention,” said judge Mina Mumdjieva, cited by BTA.
The court ruling is not final and can be appealed.
