Cash bail for man accused of poisoning vultures in Central Balkan
The Plovdiv District Court has reached a decision in the case of Lalyo Bichev, who is accused of committing a serious crime against nature. The man is charged with poisoning eight vultures in the Central Balkan region.
According to the court's decision, the defendant will remain at liberty on a cash bail of 3,000 euros. This case has sparked significant public interest, as vultures are a protected species in Bulgaria and their population is the subject of special conservation efforts.
The investigation into the case is ongoing in order to clarify all the circumstances surrounding the incident. The use of poisonous bait in the wild is illegal and poses a serious threat not only to rare birds but also to the entire ecosystem in the region.
The court is expected to review the evidence in the case over the coming months. Environmental organizations are closely monitoring the progress of the trial, insisting on strict measures against attacks on wildlife in the country.
