The case in Ruse is another one that is being used politically. This is becoming a trend. We are witnesses to how the Ministry of Interior is being used to accumulate political dividends. The information on the case was given during briefings by officials. Data on pre-trial proceedings can only be presented with the permission of the prosecutor's office. It is not necessary to give all the information at the beginning, because this could be detrimental to the investigation. This was said by Vergil Hristov, a member of the Board of the Ministry of Interior, in “Hello, Bulgaria”.
When asked why the four were not detained that evening, on the spot, he pointed out that not every scandal requires an arrest. This happens after there is sufficient data on the need for detention. The case of the beating was exactly like that.
On the topic of body cameras for police officers, Hristov indicated that these devices have been purchased and are about to be distributed. There are currently some available, but there will be more. He emphasized that the police officers who arrived at the scene of the beating in Ruse must have had body cameras, and the recordings must have been handed over to the prosecutor's office.
