Investigation and charges
The complaint names D. C., 39, and refers to events that police say took place in the town of Berovo on 09.10.2026. According to the statement, the assault also violated a protection order previously issued by the Basic Court in Berovo.
The criminal complaint was lodged by the Berovo External Office of Criminal Investigations and is registered under suspicions of causing bodily injury and not carrying out a court decision. The Ministry of Interior (MVR) issued the brief statement quoted above.
Authorities say the case will proceed through the usual legal channels: the filed complaint starts a criminal procedure that may lead to further investigation and prosecution.
