Airport employees and border police were among the first interrogated in the trial for the terrorist attack on Sarafovo Airport in Burgas on 18 July 2012 in which five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian were killed and more than thirty were injured.
The trial in which the Lebanese citizens, Meliad Farah and Hassan El Hajj Hassan, have been charged in absentia, began at the Specialized Court after nearly 18 months of procedural impediments.
The defendants have been wanted by Interpol under a red notice for more than five years, but to no avail.
In the meantime, the surviving victims and the relatives of those killed in the attack have lodged civil claims to the tune of about 100 million euro.
