Freedom After Three Months: Court Releases on Bail One of the Three Allegedly Unjustly Detained Around the “Velichie” Party

The Sofia City Court changes the pretrial measure imposed on attorney Anatoli Savov. The judges order his release on monetary bail. The lawyer has spent three months in the National Investigation Service. Radoslav Ivanov announces the news to the gathered supporters in front of the institution’s building. Journalist Rosi Serafimova also reports the developments live to her audience.

Actions by Supporters

People outside the court organize immediate efforts to raise the required funds. Citizens take the following steps:

Searching for ATMs to withdraw cash.
Sharing donation instructions online.
Using the bank account of the organization “Patriots for Bulgaria.”

Next Judicial Procedures

The prosecution plans to appeal the court’s decision. The Appellate Court will review the appeal on March 5. Attorney Ilieva explains the procedure to the media after the hearing. She outlines the following aspects of the legal process:

Anatoli Savov will deposit the bail only after final confirmation by the higher court.
The defense awaits the court’s ruling on the prosecution’s potential protest.
The lawyers will discuss with their client the possibility of appealing the amount of the bail.

Expectations Regarding the Outcome of the Cases

Radoslav Ivanov expresses confidence that the charges against the men will ultimately collapse. He describes the allegations as fabricated. According to Ivanov, the attacks aim to harm the “Historical Park” site and the “Velichie” party. Rosi Serafimova calls on viewers to provide financial support for the attorney. She approves of Anatoli Savov’s conduct and that of his defense team in the courtroom. Attorney Ilieva confirms that the defense’s goal is to ensure full protection of the legal rights of all defendants. The organization expects court decisions soon regarding the other two men still held in the investigation service.

Fundraising to Cover the Bail
