Plamen Iliev, who was chased on Sunday morning and stopped with gunshots, drove at 120 km / h without a license
Someone filmed from his balcony how a uniformed man hit him with a tree when he was already handcuffed, and another kicked him
The two police officers were suspended during an inspection
“It’s an assassination attempt. You can’t drive at that speed without a license and drugged. These boys did everything possible to save the citizens “, says Damyan Tsanev from Kazanlak.
“My brother is certainly guilty, but I don’t think the police act is normal. We are not animals. It was recently shown on television how a man mistreated a dog and the man was convicted of it. Now they show how the uniformed men beat a detained person. If you think this is the right way to punish people,
to put on
center one
guillotine
or whatever you judge by your barbaric standards. I don’t think it’s normal, I don’t think that in the 21st century someone would approve of it “, Hristo Iliev, brother of Plamen Iliev, detained after persecution and shooting in Kazanlak, is indignant.
These are the two polar views on the story that took place on the morning of March 21. Then the intoxicated Plamen Iliev caused a real action, luckily without injuries and great material damage.
At around 8.45 am, police officers signaled with a stop stick to an Opel car to stop for inspection. Instead of obeying, the driver tried to escape with dirty gas. The uniformed men chased him, 3 police cars joined the race.
The fugitive first went to the opposite lane of Kazanlak Nikola Petkov Blvd., then took the opposite lane of the ring road and returned to the city.
The race
continued
about 20 minutes
at times and with over 120 km per hour. At the time, the driver was endangering the lives of pedestrians, pursuers and his own.
To stop him, the police fired several shots – first in the air, and then with stop cartridges on the car.
They also tried to close the road with tire spikes.
After one of the rear tires was flat, the driver
abandoned the car
and ran to flee
between the blocks
After about 200 meters he was caught and detained by police.
It turns out that the detainee is an old acquaintance of the police in the city of roses. Plamen Iliev, 25, has already been convicted of drugs and theft. Some present him with his surname Drumev. An on-site inspection found that on Sunday he was intoxicated with marijuana and amphetamines.
He is also known to have driven the car all the time without a driver’s license. Opel wasn’t even his.
However, the action in Kazanlak does not stop there. A random citizen managed to take a phone with his phone from his balcony and upload a video on social networks, which shows not only how the police chased the rebellious driver, but also how they treated him afterwards. According to the video, when two policemen were leading the man in handcuffs, another man in uniform ran over him and started forcing him with a piece of wood or a stick. At the same time, one of the escorts kicked the detainees.
This video became the occasion for its formation
disciplinary
check for
violence
The Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior in Stara Zagora defined the actions of its employees as unacceptable.
“It is clear that the man drove the car in the urban part of the settlement extremely risky. But it is also indisputable that the actions of the law enforcement officers after his detention are unacceptable, and therefore a disciplinary procedure was instituted against them by order of the director of the ODMI in Stara Zagora for a serious violation of official discipline. While it lasts, the two uniformed men will be fired, “said Chief Inspector Hristo Petrov, head of the Kazanlak Regional Police Department. They are threatened with disciplinary dismissal.
The man who struck the detainee in Kazanlak is said to have been an exemplary, award-winning police officer, the father of three children.
As early as the evening of March 21, people gathered in front of the district administration in Kazanlak, most of them with the intention of protecting the police officers, whose actions prevented a more serious incident. they think
and they are people
it is normal to be
lose your temper
at such a tense moment. Others rebuked the uniformed men, not because they beat the detainees, but because they did it in a public place without suspecting that they were being photographed.
There are, of course, those who do not accept police violence on any occasion.
The brother of the detained Plamen – Hristo Iliev, also said that
the family will
seek your rights
in court
because of the beating.
Plamen himself was left in custody for 72 hours with a prosecutor’s order. As he was being taken away, he showed through his car window in front of the television cameras scars on his hands from tight handcuffs.
Today, the prosecution will ask the court to leave him permanently behind bars with the most severe measure of restraint “detention in custody”. He has already been charged with two counts – hooliganism and driving after using drugs.
If convicted, the fugitive driver could face up to five years in prison.
