Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 72764, member: 636"] Varna's detained mayor has been relocated to a local detention facility as his criminal case shifts to regional jurisdiction, with an appellate judge ordering the transfer following assignment as trial rapporteur. Blagomir Kotsev's attorneys will petition magistrates to relax custody restrictions that currently prevent him from performing municipal functions. The Municipal Election Commission delayed ruling on whether to strip Kotsev of office, seeking additional documentation about leave taken before his detention. Anti-corruption authorities arrested the mayor months earlier, while co-defendants face less restrictive measures. One businessman secured release shortly after charges, and two city councilors remain under residential confinement. [/QUOTE]
