A Bulgarian appeals court has ruled to keep two alleged members of a criminal group known as “The Kalashnikovs” in pre-trial detention. Krasimir Alexiev and Rosen Ivanov were arrested following a police operation in the Botunets district of Sofia. Ivanov faces charges of coercion and threats, while Alexiev is accused of threatening serious harm. The court’s decision indicates the severity of the allegations and the potential risk the suspects pose. Details regarding the specific nature of the alleged crimes and the group’s activities remain under investigation. Authorities continue to gather evidence against other individuals potentially linked to “The Kalashnikovs”. The investigation follows a recent crackdown on organized crime in the capital city.
