Drug boss takes Bulgarian society for a ride

The alleged drug boss Yosko Yossifov has been on trial since March 2011 after killing two people in a traffic accident while under the influence of drugs. However the court allowed him out on bail after the court doctors testified that he was severely paralysed. Now a video has emerged showing Yossifov running through Sofia and getting into his car. The daily Standart is outraged: "As soon as they come to trial the big-time bandits who otherwise are teeming with health, who run round with a  bunch of girls in tow, pushing heroin, suddenly become chronically ill. ... In the courtroom they pull faces and wet their pants. But as soon as they are released on bail they are back in business, grinning arrogantly behind the tinted windows of their luxury limos. The stupid ones are the Bulgarian citizens whose tax money pays judges and medical experts to act objectively in the interests of society at large."
