(Jerusalem Post) A Bulgarian prosecutor provided detailed evidence to the Bulgarian court handling Hezbollah’s involvement in the 2012 Burgas bus bombing which killed five Israelis and their Bulgarian-Muslim bus driver, but the court refused to accept it, the Jerusalem Post has learned.
Despite an official court transcript of these details and an appeal by the Israeli victims’ lawyer Yaki Rand to convince the Bulgarian appeals court to issue convictions, including terrorism charges against Hezbollah, the Post also understands there is a high chance that Bulgaria’s judiciary is looking to put the case to bed.
Throughout the trial there was a dispute about Bulgarian officials allegedly trying to charge only the individuals, while seeking to avoid angering Hezbollah by naming it in the case.
