Regional Court – Burgas took a measure of restraint "Detention" against E.D., charged with robbery through the use of force and threat, as well as under conditions of dangerous recidivism.

E.D. is accused of committing a crime under Art.198 of the Penal Code and 199, para. 1, item 4, in connection with Art.198, para. 1, in connection with Art. 29, para.1, b. “a” and b.“b”, in connection with Art.26, para.1 of the Penal Code, that in the period from 28.11.2025 to 25.12.2025 in Burgas, under conditions of dangerous recidivism and a continuing crime, he took the sum of 7 leva and mobile phones from the possession of I.M. and H.M., using force and threats for this.

The court assessed that from the evidence gathered to this moment in the course of the investigation, a reasonable assumption could be made that the accused committed the crime with which he is charged.

From the electronic criminal record of E.D., it is evident that he has been convicted many times. He has served effective sentences of “Deprivation of Liberty” for a considerable period. He last left prison on 29.07.2025, where he served a sentence of six months “Deprivation of Liberty”, and before that in the period from 05.03.2018 to 16.05.2024 he served a total of one imposed sentence of “Deprivation of Liberty” for a period of 7 years and 8 months.

The court considered that the burdened criminal past of E.D. characterizes him as a person who does not respect the legal order, prone to committing crimes, towards whom the exercised state coercion has not yielded results and he has not improved and re-educated himself. These facts make the danger of committing a crime very real if he is at liberty.

In the opinion of the court, there is also a danger of concealment, which is derived from the fact that the accused does not reside at his registered address. E.D. is accused of a serious crime, for which the legislator has provided a penalty of five to fifteen years of “Deprivation of Liberty”.

The ruling is subject to appeal and protest within 3 days before the Court of Appeal-Burgas.

Regional Court – Burgas took a measure of restraint "Detention" against S.A., charged with robbery through the use of force and threat, as well as under conditions of dangerous recidivism.

S.A. is accused of committing a crime under Art. 199, para. 1, item 4, in connection with Art.198, para.1, in connection with Art.26, para.1, in connection with Art.29, para.1, b.“a” and b.“b” of the Penal Code, that on 22.12.2025 in Burgas, k-s “Br. Miladinovi”, under conditions of continuing crime and dangerous recidivism, by using force and threat, took a sum of 750 BGN, a mobile phone worth 120 BGN, an ID card and a debit card, owned by and in the possession of S.N., as well as the sum of 50 BGN from the possession of G.S., without their consent with the intention of illegally appropriating them.

The evidentiary sources allow the Regional Court to make a reasonable assumption about the accused's participation in the crime for which he is accused.

S.A. also has a prior conviction and has served effective sentences of "Deprivation of Liberty" for a considerable period. He last left prison on 23.07.2024, where he served a sentence of six months “Deprivation of Liberty” for a period of one year and eight months.

The court assessed that there is a real danger that the accused will abscond, as well as commit another crime, if he is at liberty. This is deducible from his burdened criminal past, the fact that he does not reside at his registered address, as well as in view of the severity of the charges and the prescribed penal sanction, which is a sentence of five to fifteen years of "Deprivation of Liberty".

The ruling of the Regional Court – Burgas is subject to appeal or protest within three days before the Court of Appeal – Burgas.
