Woman Accused of Witness Intimidation in 'Kalashnikovs' Case Held in Custody

A woman facing charges of attempting to intimidate a witness in the ongoing "Kalashnikovs" case will remain in pre-trial detention. The Sofia City Court ruled to keep her in custody permanently, upholding the prosecution's request.

According to the indictment, the alleged act of intimidation took place on June 29, 2026. The specific location mentioned was a store, though further details about the circumstances were not immediately available.

The "Kalashnikovs" case refers to a significant investigation involving alleged criminal activities, with witness testimony being crucial to the proceedings. The prosecution argues that the woman's actions posed a risk of obstructing justice by attempting to influence or silence a key witness.

Her continued detention is based on the court's assessment that she poses a flight risk or a danger to the public, particularly concerning the integrity of the ongoing investigation. The decision highlights the seriousness with which Bulgarian authorities are treating attempts to interfere with judicial processes.
