The Specialized Criminal Court ruled that 21-year old Ivan Zahariev, detained two days ago on charges of terrorism, remain in custody.
Zahariev, whose mother is Vietnamese, has Bulgarian as well as Australian citizenship. He was in this country with his father to take out a Bulgarian passport. The Specialized Prosecutor’s Office, which is authorized to investigate terrorist crimes, started its investigation of Ivan Zahariev after the State Agency for National Security raised the red flag on his activities. According to the prosecution, Zahariev is alleged to be preparing to join the so-called Islamic State on the territory of Syria. Evidence has been collected that he has been in contact with terrorists and with people preaching radical Islam online. Zahariev’s measures of restraint will be up before the Court of Appeal on 29 September.
