A high-level investigation has been launched by order of Minister of the Interior Daniel Mitov after public pressure and a report from the victims' families raised serious questions about the police's actions during the serious ATV incident in the Sunny Beach resort. The dramatic accident, which occurred on August 14, is now the subject of a second, in-depth investigation aimed at establishing the full truth about the law enforcement authorities' response.
Details of the order
The order for the new investigation was issued by Chief Commissioner Zahari Vaskov, Director of the General Directorate _National Police_. It puts all the actions of the police authorities and officials involved in the case under scrutiny. This move comes in response to an official report filed by the victims' families, who are clearly not satisfied with the initial findings.
Contrast with the initial review
Interestingly, this is the second review of the police's actions regarding the same incident. The initial investigation was ordered by the director of the Burgas Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior, Senior Commissioner Vladimir Marinov, immediately after the incident. Now, with the intervention of the highest level in the ministry, it is clear that there are doubts about the objectivity and thoroughness of the first review.
Public response and journalistic interest
The incident in Sunny Beach caused a wide public response, and the media closely followed its development. On the spot, amid the bustle of resort life, there was a sense of tension and an expectation of justice. In this situation, Minister Mitov's decision to order a new investigation is seen as an acknowledgment of the need for full transparency and accountability of institutions. It remains to be seen what the results of this new investigation will be and whether it will reveal new, key details about what happened and the behavior of the police.
