Maxim in driving accident

What wonderful news to wake up to this morning!!!

I am so happy for Maxim and Albena. Now they can go on with their lives! They must be immensely relieved.

Praise God! Our prayers were answered!

May healing begin now from this trauma they have experienced for so many months.

May i got something wrong or articles are different...

Here is what ing version which is updated

Staviski will also have to pay 45 000 EUR to each of the parents of Peter Petrov, the young man who died in the car accident or altogether 90 000 EUR. In addition Maxim will have to pay the expenses on the case which is 5 000 EUR.

The court overruled the claim of Manuela Gorssova's father for a 1 M EUR compensation for causing a severe physical damage. He will get 40 000 EUR compensation, 1500 EUR personal expenses from Maxim and 400 EUR expenses on the case.

May be i counted wrong? It wouldn't be strange now

90.000 eur + 5.000 eur + 40.000 eur +1500eur + 400 eur = 136. 900 eur...

hmmm...
I'd be glad if you are right, Petra! Coz your sum is lower

I think it may depend on the different articles we use... In some hours we will know exactly, I think.
I have my numbers from the Bulgarian article Ewuch posted... But it´s possible I translated something wrong...

The sums aren't so important now, but I think swetis is right, because Max should pay 90 000 levs to each of Peter's parents, so it's about 270 000 levs = 135 000 EUR.

Yes, the only important now is that Max is free !!!!!
It´s like a holiday to me!!!

Somehow i have ups and downs today...

This is one of my downs (if I really translated right)... please, can someone check?

Quote from the translation: "The lawyers of the parents of dead Peter Petrov and the father of Manuela are categoric that they will appeal the court decision."

This would mean it is not ended, and will perhaps start again...

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm more optimistic now, even if they appeal the sentence. Let's wait and see....

You are right, Vanichka!

In English this time...

Quote: "The punishment imposed could be appealed in a 15-day period."

Even if they appeal, IMO he can´t be given a sentence that will be much higher than this one... But first I was shocked...

Girls, thanks for the aritcles! Especially dear Petra, you always tried to find out latest news for us. I really appreciate you.

Finally we got to know the final decision.

I want to believe that the court decided fair judgment for Maxim.

I thought this sentence is light for him. Because he caused a man to die in the horrible accident. Even if he gets a jail sencence for many years, the guy who dead of crash will never come again in this world.

However, I really love Maxim, I really want to support him and Albena forever.

I also think that Maxim should pay for relatives. I don't think it's expensive to pay as the relatives demanded.


Kisses!
Meg

I just saw the news.Thanks Petra.You are awesome as always.

Now about the sentence.It is not unusual as it may look .In many of those cases when there is clean record and cooperation, people would get the same if not lighter punishment.About the financial decision i believe is also fair concidering that the biggest amount given was 150 000 leva or dollars ,so it would 've be a precedent for Bulgarian Law if Maxim was sentence to /i cannot write pay,it is just not right when a human life is involved/ do it.I am not very familiar with the law but if someone is given certain amount from there in every similar case this amount could be ask for all the victims and is sad to say but most of Bulgarian citizens cannot afford it .I am glad that is over and i hope Maxim will find a way to help Manuela .Have a nice day everyone.

Max is free!! O.K., it´s on probation, but that´s o.k. to me!

My heart feels much more lighter now ! They judged him according to Bulgarian law , and (I hope I´m not wrong) till now I don´t have the impression that he was judged much stronger as other Bulgarians would have been... No disadvantage because of his celebrity status... To me this is justice that has been done !!!!!

And again an article in English, but no new news for us...

I agree with this one. Even if they appeal, I don´t think that the probation will be changed to jail or something. The only thing they can probably change, and I think that´s the point of the appeal of the families, is the amount of money they´ll get.

I´m glad Max got probation.

This is a small part of what Maxim said to media / journalists immediately after the trial:

Here's what Maxim Staviski said immediately after delivery of the verdict to media representatives in the village.
-Mr Staviski, how would you comment delivered verdict?
- No comment. My wish was for a fair verdict. Once again must say that I did, not how to come back. Taken the life I will wear permanent punishment in itself. Asked the mother of Peter forgive me. Regret most sincerely for what they caused.

- How are taking the initiative to Fund Development and Web Media Group to collect money for treatment of Manuela?
- Great initiative. I am not familiar with the details and I can not comment, but approve the idea.

- Will you help yourselves to a Manuela?
- I constantly think about this girl. When examined the claim of his father, of course, will express concern about it. In my capacity to help its recovery.

- However, how to take charges of koravosardechie Manuela protection in the face of attorney Hristo Hristov?
- And here I have no comment. Not me nothing remains except to say that sea sorry. This stain will be lepnato on me for life.
- How do you think you took one more appeal?
- This is not my responsibility. The word have lawyers respondent."

oh, it's good to see Max in to going to jail, it wouldn't do any good . Decent people like Maxim shouldn't be placed among criminals.

MAX IS FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! THIS IS REAL REASON FOR A LITTLE CELEBRATION! After so long worries there is a need to relax
Just for a while though...

One pic from today´s trial:



I´m so glad it´s over!!!!!

"This time - with good.

By Miloslav Yosifov

Helping Manuela, the government will help Maxim also.


The Christianity teaches us to be merciful, pitiful and to love each other. We all know that “if you have two shirts…” and the lessons given by first prophets.


We begin so far because the subject is very complicated and we cannot give you the right answer ,you have to do it yourself.

Sometime ago we talk about the moral force of the forgiveness .

Few months passed by and also the first trial against the World Champion .The facts are clear - alcohol, high speed, impact , one deceased man , one 18 years old girl in the hospital in very heavy condition.

One champion-until then respected , applaud and after the accident trapped in the horror of doubt and self-realized guilt.

But…

The first trial was the reason about this article , because somehow answered the most important questions , because it made it clear that after all we are going to talk about money.

In the case of Manuela who is still in VMA this means good medical care and a future for this girl.


The bridge between symbolic talking and parable for help -not with good word and pity is difficult but we can help with good amount .

It is clear what is the appeal towards the World Champion- to pay for Manuela’s health care .It is obvious that is going to be very hard for him to find all the necessary for this.


Then what..

Our first appeal for their fans - to those who felt every slide on the ice our Champions made , to those who were singing the Bulgarian anthem with pride in front of their TV’s. To those who were confused and felt offended and betrayed from what happened.

But now our appeal have to be very clear - in the name of those terrific moments given us by Albena and Maxim but most importantly to Manuela’s future ,The Fan with capital letter owes this gesture.

It is going to be open bank account and fund in which everyone of us /of course considering their ability, free will and humanity / could deposit money for the medical care of injured in the accident girl.

In our opinion every transaction has the same force and moral meaning as the forgiveness .Moreover, in this case would help to save a human life.

We who wrote above are ready to take /and we are certain about this/ a the insult ,the ridicule and the mockery .
Not one or two “judges “ with false moral will try to talk about guilt , judgment ,prison and etc.

In this case we only talk about health care and one young life who is in danger to spend the rest of her life in vegetable status .

This is why we are sending our appeal to the government -realizing ,of course ,that not one or two children in Bulgaria desperately need help .

Involve yourself in Manuela’s care, let the court do its job, but in this part of the tragedy stand up behind Maxim the same way he stood up for Bulgarian flag.

Let’s say this once and for all-Maxim is a national capital, person who gave glory to our country.

Helping Manuela ,the government will help the World Champion.

In this order of thoughts we send our appeal to the founders of this amazing enterprise “The Bulgarian Christmas “ - those more that 23 mln leva raised to helped many children’s lives.

It is very honorable of our President that he was involved in this foundation and for his correct attitude towards Albena and Maxim. We hope he will use his authority to help ,with some of the raised amount , Manuela.

And at least but not at last - the business . People say that money can corrupt and spoil. This is one of cases when we can prove it wrong.

As we said at the beginning we don’t have ready answers-each on of us ,with our own emotions ,have to decide .

We are just one media with the knowledge that we can “call upon” the good and the bad in every one of us. "

That is SUCH a happy day!

Viktoria,
Is the account already operating?

I am not very sure.No other info was given in the media.And the article says "it will be open"

Here they write that the parents of the dead Peter Petrov decided to appeal...
I only hope they will only appeal the amount of money, and not Max´s probation

So, it seems as if it´s not over...
