Bulgaria’s Appellate Court has ruled that the case against former Prime Minister Kiril Petkov and his associate, Bozhidar Bozhanov, will proceed to trial. The decision overturns a previous ruling by the Sofia City Court which had initially halted proceedings. Details regarding the specific charges were not provided in the initial report, but the case is expected to be heard on its merits. The “Sega” news outlet first reported the Appellate Court’s decision. This development marks a significant shift in the legal proceedings against the former prime minister and his ally. The trial’s progression suggests the court believes there is sufficient evidence to warrant a full examination of the allegations. Further details are anticipated as the trial date approaches.
