The case involving the serious accident in Aheloy has taken a new turn. The police have re-arrested the 55-year-old operator of the water attraction, after he was initially released due to no charges being filed within the 24-hour period.
Developments in the case
The Burgas Prosecutor's Office has ordered the man's detention for 72 hours. Charges are pending for causing bodily harm due to professional negligence.
It has been established that the 55-year-old man did not possess the necessary operating permits, and the attraction was operating in an unauthorized area.
Details of the incident
- Victims: Three Israeli tourists, including a 17-year-old boy in critical condition.
- Cause: Hitting a rock in the shallows during a sharp turn, which led to the capsizing of the inflatable equipment.
- Investigation: The role of the tour operator company and its contractual relationship with the owner of the attraction are being investigated.
The injured boy's parents are already in Bulgaria and are requesting his air transport to Israel.
