The son of the prosecutor Biser Mihailov - Vasil Mihailov, was sentenced conditionally to 1 year and 8 months, with a four-year probationary period. The verdict is in connection with the four death threats against his ex-girlfriend Boryana Rangelova. Lawyer Zornitsa Kostova stated in the “Interview in NOVA News” that he will most likely take advantage of the opportunity to leave the country. Her clients are coach Rumen Andonov, his wife and daughter and several other people who claim to have suffered from the aggression of the prosecutor's son.
" At any moment, Vasil Mihailov can go wherever he wants, I am afraid that he has the means, the support and the opportunities to leave the country. Prison makes a difference, but with more adequate punishments. In December, the father, Biser Mihailov, will also be questioned. A remand is not a punishment. There was consternation in Pernik when it became clear that there was an agreement in the pre-trial phase for inflicting moderate bodily harm. Instead of an indictment, the case is filed with an agreement - then the victim remains silent. The police have neither the capacity nor the procedure to protect the witnesses," she commented.
The lawyer says that her clients had a hard time deciding to testify. "They didn't know how to escape the courtroom. They ask the question now what, should they go to live abroad? To my answer that if there is an incident, complaints will be filed, they reply that they are not convinced that there will be proceedings, Kostova added.
According to NOVA's information, the prosecutor's office is already preparing its protests both against Mihailov's suspended sentence and against his release. It turns out that Vasil Mihailov is not banned from leaving the country even in the case of 8 beatings.
