Ukrainian Woman Detained in Sunny Beach After Attempted Bribery of Police Officers
Bulgarian authorities found themselves grappling with a peculiar case involving a 60-year-old Ukrainian woman
The Roma popular court, Kris Romani, also known as meshere, has issued a "death sentence" for notorious Roma boss, Kiril Rashkov AKA Tsar Kiro.
The information was reported Monday by the Bulgarian Standart (Standard) daily, citing the Chair of the Supreme Roma Court, Hristo Varbanov AKA The Pope, who said that "not a single person, not a single Roma would stand up for Rashkov."
Tensions in the entire Plovdiv region escalated over the weekend after Rashkov's Roma associates from the Plovdiv district of Stolipinovo ran over and killed 19-year-old Angel Petrov from the nearby village of Katunitsa late Friday. The incident flared large-scale violence and protests which culminated Saturday night in an attack on Rashkov's properties, allegedly staged by several hundred football fans.
The meshere convened two days after Angel's murder with all 11 members voting unanimously to not back Rashkov and his clan.
Standart further writes that the Roma Court issued a symbolic "death sentence" to Rashkov, further quoting Varbanov, who pointed out "this was the true rule of the meshere, and if it had real power it would sentence Rashkov to death by hanging to set an example to others."
Rashkov told Standart he did not care about the rule, nor about Varbanov's opinion or the one of the leader of the Roma party Evroroma, Tsvetlin Kanchev, who has also been critical to him, because both "were Bulgarians, not Roma."
"The Pope should go on and keep racketeering people, which he knows how to do best," said Tsar Kiro said.
