The verdict of the Syrian driver who ran over the two Burgas police officers is expected today

The Burgas District Court will deliver its verdict today in the case of the death of the two police officers Yordan Iliev and Atanas Gradev. They were run over by a bus full of migrants in an attempt to stop it in the summer of 2022, BNT reports.
The only defendant is the bus driver Omar Adnan. The pleadings of the state prosecution and the defense before the District Court in the seaside city continued for nearly 5 hours yesterday. The prosecution has requested life imprisonment for the foreigner, which is the most severe punishment for the crime. The motive is that Omar Adnan's actions are a blatant attack on the state. He did not take measures to avoid the impact, although he had the opportunity to do so. He exceeded the speed limit by 38 km, fled the scene of the accident and concealed his real age for nearly 2 years. The defendant's defense requested a lighter sentence of 15 years in prison because of his clean criminal record, his tender age and the allegations that he tried to avoid the impact.
