A court has ordered further investigation into a case involving Djevdet Chakarov, a former co-chairman of Bulgaria's Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) party, and his son. The Sofia City Prosecutor's Office had previously terminated a pre-trial investigation into allegations of trading influence against them.
The decision to send the case back for additional inquiry indicates that the court found the initial investigation insufficient or that new aspects require examination. The specifics of the alleged trading of influence and the reasons for the initial termination and subsequent reopening of the case are not detailed in the provided description.
This development suggests that the legal proceedings concerning Chakarov and his son are ongoing, with the prosecution now tasked with conducting further investigative steps as directed by the court. The case involves serious allegations that were initially dismissed but have now been revived by judicial review.
