The man accused of attempted robbery in front of a bank branch in Sofia wants to be released. Today, the Sofia Court of Appeal will consider his measure of detention. The crime was committed on August 8 in the capital's "Dianabad" district.
49-year-old Martin Tsankov attempted to take a laptop bag from an employee in a large private hospital, in which there was an amount of 114 thousand leva, the prosecutor's office claims.
Before the first instance, the defense requested a lighter measure due to the defendant's health condition. However, the magistrates considered that this was not sufficient reason for him to be released from custody.
