Interior Minister Daniel Mitov with new information on the case of the beaten Ruse police chief.
"Yesterday, a recording appeared that clearly shows what was happening. On a small street in Ruse, where the speed limit is 30 km/h, a car is clearly speeding, does not stop at a "Stop" sign, the regional director and his neighbor are driving home, the neighbor blocks the car's path and tries to demand an explanation from the driver for the speeding, most likely", explained Mitov, quoted by dariknews.bg.
According to him, the first manipulation is that the neighbor intervened first. "This is not true, this is a lie, the recording shows the driver reaching out first. The person who leans out the window to ask for an explanation abruptly jumps back and the driver's hand is visible,", Mitov said.
"I want to clarify something that many people do not understand. The man who goes to the driver's seat is not the director of the Ruse police", he said.
"At the moment the director intervenes and tries to break them up, he is attacked in the back and punched, which later ends up in the hospital with a broken rib, a ruptured kidney, a hematoma and more than a liter and a half of blood loss. Obviously, the punches were strong and in the back. Whoever hit knew how to hit. This is also visible on the recording, this recording confirms the version of the Ministry of Internal Affairs", Mitov said.
"Because it is claimed that there are many versions in space - these versions are not the Ministry of Internal Affairs, these are fabrications of websites, trolls. The high temperature of speech in recent years, the epithets, the accusations, are constantly destroying trust in institutions, in police officers, in the state. The director indicated that he was a police officer, showed his service card, then the remark "I don't care who you are, I want my personal space" followed, Mitov explained.
He thanked the police unions for the position in which they strongly condemn the attack on Kozhuharov.
"What did the Ministry of Interior lie about, give me one thing, what did the Ministry of Interior lie about? We said in what incident he was injured, we said that he tried to prevent an anti-social event," said the Minister of Interior.
