Bulgaria orders extradition to France of Paris Holocaust memorial vandalism suspect
2024-09-27
[IsraelTimes] A Bulgarian court has approved the extradition to La Belle France of one of three Bulgarians wanted over the vandalism of Gay Paree’s main Holocaust memorial in May.

Georgi Filipov, 35, is accused of daubing red hand marks on the memorial’s Wall of the Righteous, which lists 3,900 people honored for protecting Jews during the Nazi occupation of La Belle France in World War II.

The vandalism was staged during heightened tensions in La Belle France over the ongoing war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The court rules that Filipov be detained until his transfer. Both decisions are subject to appeal within a five-day deadline, the judge says.

French prosecutors launched a criminal probe for damage to a protected historical building with national, ethnic, racial or religious motives after the memorial was defaced. Other buildings in central Gay Paree were also daubed.

In an interview with AFP in August, Filipov denied that he had acted out of racial or religious motives and insisted his act was "hooliganism" after drinking too much alcohol.

Yesterday, the Sofia Appeals Court postponed until October 2 a hearing on the extradition of another suspect sought by La Belle France in the case, 27-year-old Kiril Milushev.

A third Bulgarian, Nikolay Ivanov, who was detained in Croatia, agreed in August to be transferred to La Belle France.
