Krasimir Gorsov, the father of Manuela, who was seriously injured in car accident caused by figure skating champion Maxim Staviiski, said he felt very guilty and hated himself about gambling away over BGN 75,000 from his daughter's accounts.
"I feel anger and guilt knowing I do not deserve the child I have," Gorsov said Monday in an interview for Nova TV.
He has also apologized to all the people, who tried to help his daughter by donating money for the treatment she is now undergoing in Israel.
"I have not even thought I have a problem with gambling but it is obviously so and I cannot cope with that by myself," the father added.
The fact that Gorsov had withdrawn a huge sum from Manuela's accounts was proved by the preliminary checkup conducted by the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office.
According to a publication in the Bulgarian daily newspaper "Troud," the preliminary investigation has ended Friday with the opinion that legal proceedings must be initiated against Gorsov since the results showed that the father's actions have caused significant damages to his daughter, whom he was legally representing and have been conducted against her interests.
The investigators have also interrogated numerous croupiers from local casinos and have established that Gorsov had visited them almost every night, spending hours and huge amounts of money.
The casino Gorsov had frequented the most is the one located in the vicinity of the Military Medical Academy in Sofia, a place he had grown accustomed to because it is in close proximity to his residency, which has been paid for by charitable donors, and to the hospital where his daughter spent an entire year in a coma, before being transported to Israel.
During his own interrogation, Gorsov had admitted misusing his daughter's accounts and has stated that he was gambling BGN 4,000-5,000 each night, sometimes loosing as much as BGN 6,000 in a matter of hours.
According to the Bulgarian Penalty Code, Gorsov could be sentenced up to 5 years in jail.
18-year-old Manuela Gorsova was left comatose after a fatal car crash caused by world ice-dancing champion Maxim Staviski on August 5, 2007.
The deadly crash occurred after Staviiski veered into the opposite lane on a bridge over the Ropotamo River near the coastal city of Burgas and hit headlong into another car with four people riding in it. 24-years old Petar Petrov, from Sliven was killed on the spot.
At the time of the incident, the skater was driving with 1,29 per mille alcohol content.
On May 7, 2008 The Appellate Court in Bulgaria's coastal city of Burgas confirmed Staviiski's suspended involuntary manslaughter and aggravated bodily harm sentence of 2 years and 6 months with a five-year probation.
On September 24, 2008 the Supreme Court is scheduled to make the final decision regarding Staviiski's trail.
