Appeal against Staviski sentence goes to court April 7

A Bourgas court will hear the appeal lodged by Bourgas Prosecutor's Office against the sentence given to Maxim Staviski on April 7, bTV reported on March 4.

Bulgarian two-time world ice skating champion Staviski was sentenced to two years and six months suspended sentence in January 2008, with a five-year probation period, for causing death of a man and seriously injuring a girl in road accident on the Black sea coast on August 5 2007. Staviski was driving under the influence of alcohol.

The prosecutors plan to, once again, ask for a two and half years effective imprisonment sentence.

He was also sentenced to pay compensations amounting to about 180 000 leva to the victims' families and court expenses after pleading guilty to all charges.

The father of the seriously injured teenager Manuela Gorsova will also appeal the figure skater's sentence before the court, as previously reported by The Sofia Echo.
