The court ruled: BGN 10,000 bail for the owner of the fatal balloon  - 1

Bail 10,000 is the measure of the Sofia District Court for Veselin Hristov. The prosecutor's request for a measure of detention in custody was not respected, BNT reports.
The court ruled out the possibility of absconding. Regarding the commission of a new crime, the court decided that the probability was small because Veselin was convicted but rehabilitated. Therefore, the measure of monetary guarantee is sufficient for the moment, the magistrates judged.
In the fatal accident near Botevgrad after a parachute jump, one person died and another was seriously injured.
The prosecutor's office filed two charges against Veselin Hristov. The 44-year-old man will be responsible for causing death by negligence and causing bodily harm.

After the incident, it became clear that the balloon from which the paratroopers jumped near Botevgrad was not airworthy or registered.
