The Sofia Regional Prosecutor’s Office has indicted 6 individuals for hooliganism in front of the European Commission and European Parliament building in Sofia. The incident occurred during the protest organized by Vazrazhdane against the adoption of the euro on 22 February.
Five of the defendants can be sentenced to up to 5 years in prison and the 6th – to up to 2 and a half years, because he is a minor. They pelted the façade of the building, as well as police officers with eggs filled with red paint, threw flammable objects at the building, including Molotov cocktails, banged on the windows breaking them, and threw rocks. The prosecutor’s office adds that there are no individuals with parliamentary immunity among the persons indicted, but that materials connected with such persons have been sent to the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office, BNR’s Juliana Kornazheva reports.
