(Sofia Globe) Bulgaria’s Supreme Court of Cassation has confirmed at final instance the life sentences without parole for Meliad Farah and Hassan El Hajj Hassan for their role in the July 2012 terrorist attack at Bourgas Airport in which five Israelis and a Bulgarian died.
This was announced on March 7, 2023, by Prosecutor-General Ivan Geshev.
Meliad Farah, holder of Australian and Lebanese citizenship, and Hassan El Hajj Hassan, a Canadian passport-holder, are the subject of an Interpol red notice. Both were tried in absentia after charges against them were lodged in 2016.
Geshev said civil claims by the heirs of the dead had been upheld.
