Vasil Mihaylov detained following Greek European Arrest Warrant
Bulgarian authorities have detained 23-year-old Vasil Mihaylov, known as the ‘prosecutor’s son,’ following a European Arrest Warrant issued by Greek authorities. The warrant, issued by the Appellate Prosecutor's Office in Thrace based on an order from Kavala, seeks his arrest for alleged involvement in an organized criminal group, causing grievous bodily harm, and organized or armed robbery.
Under Greek law, these offenses carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The Kyustendil District Prosecutor's Office has requested his permanent detention, noting that while Mihaylov was serving a sentence in Bulgaria for threats and minor bodily harm, he had approximately 20 days remaining before his release. The court has ordered his detention to ensure the execution of the legal proceedings in Greece.
Mihaylov, the son of Pernik prosecutor Biser Mihaylov, has a history of criminal investigations involving violence. He was previously caught in May after being on the run for ten months and has faced multiple convictions in Bulgaria for threats and assault.
