Varna Mayor Blagomir Kotsev is getting sprung on 200k leva bail after his lawyer, Ina Lulcheva, argued the prosecution had nothing new since August and keeping him locked up was basically just harassment. The court agreed he doesn't need to stay in custody anymore since it's not serving any real purpose for the case. Lulcheva said people were already lining up in the square, ready to throw down cash to help raise the bail money.
The mayor has a week to get the funds transferred before he can bounce home. His defense team is calling the whole detention situation sketchy since the indictment showed the prosecutors were running on empty the entire time.
