No people have been arrested yet for the brutal murder of thirty year-old Victoria Marinova- administrative director of TVN channel. The TV host was raped and murdered in the city of Ruse on Saturday. According to police investigators, the version that Marinova is a victim of her professional activity has become more unlikely.
The murder of the Bulgarian journalist was reported by the British media as well. BBC announced that Marinova is the third popular journalist murdered in the European Union in the past twelve months. The media quotes Harlem Désir, representative of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, of which Marinova was a member. “I urgently call for a full and thorough investigation. The people responsible for this crime must be held accountable”, Harlem Désir said. The British newspaper Guardian also informed about the murder of the Bulgarian journalist.
In Brussels, the murder of the young Bulgarian journalist was also commented on. The European Commission expects a swift and in-depth investigation by the responsible authorities, in order to bring the perpetrators to justice and to clarify whether the attack was related to the victim's work, an EC spokesperson said at a press conference, as quoted by BTA.
The German government has also strongly condemned Marinova's murder. Berlin calls for freedom of the press and called on law enforcement authorities in Bulgaria to conduct a full-scale investigation, spokeswoman for the German Foreign Ministry Christopher Berger told reporters today.
