The notorious Galevi brothers will be released from the Sofia jail on a bail of BGN 50 000 each, the Kyustendil Regional Court decided Tuesday.
The rule of the Court in the western city changes the permanent detention measure imposed on Plamen Galev and Angel Hristov.
The case was tried by the Chair of the Kyustendil Court, Krasimir Bambov. The decision is effective immediately and the Prosecutor can appeal it in a 7-day period.
Plamen Galev and Angel Hristov aka the "Galevi brothers" are walking out of jail after both were allowed to run for parliamentary seats and thus receiving immunity from prosecution.
Hristov is the only Kyustednil candidate of the Party for Liberal Alternative and Peace PLAM (FLAME) and its majority candidate in the city of Pernik. His registration documents were submitted on June 12 with the Regional Electoral Commission in Kyustendil.
On June 10, the Regional Electoral Commission confirmed that Galev, had been registered to run in the upcoming general elections.
Galev and Hristov, have been investigated over a long period of time for various crimes in the southwest town of Dupnitsa, most notably racketeering and organized crime.
The Sofia City Prosecutor recently officially moved the case against the Galevi brothers to the Sofia City Court and the two are charged with running an organized criminal group.
However, as official MP candidates, they receive immunity from prosecution and the Court will not be able to set a date for the trial.
