LUNAR Festival 2024: Illuminating Sofia's Nightscape Once Again
Sofia's Lunar Festival of Lights is back, illuminating the city with more than 20 captivating light installations across its most iconic landmarks.
The health condition of top Bulgarian mobster Baretata, who was shot Tuesday, is expected to deteriorate further, doctors now say.
Crime boss, Zlatomir Ivanov aka Baretata (The Beret, The Barret) was shot in broad daylight in the vicinity of the main courtroom building in the Bulgarian capital as he was going there for an appeals hearing in an illegal drugs distribution case against him.
After the shooting, Ivanov was taken to the emergency Pirogov hospital and underwent surgery for approximately four hours on Tuesday and his life was reported to still be in danger.
Doctor Stoyan Sopotnenski said Wednesday the patient's condition is expected to become more complicated and additional surgeries will be needed to stabilize him.
Baretata is in the central life-support ward on respiratory apparatus and on cardiac medications.
"His condition is dynamic and we cannot say how it will develop and cannot issue certain forecasts about his life," the Doctor is quoted saying.
A bodyguard, who returned fire, was also shot in the leg. He is in stable condition.
