Detention of a 35-year-old man who set six gambling machines on fire in a casino in Bitola

A thirty-five-year-old man is in custody after he poured gasoline on six gambling machines and set them on fire in a casino in Bitola on Saturday night.

- On March 2, in the evening hours, the suspect entered a casino on "Lazo Trpovski" street in Bitola, went up to the floor of the building where there were other people, then poured gasoline on six slot machines and set them on fire. This caused a fire that engulfed part of the inventory and caused a significant danger to the lives and bodies of people and large-scale property, informs the Prosecutor's Office.

Following a proposal from the competent public prosecutor, the judge of a preliminary procedure from the Basic Court in Bitola determined a detention measure for eight days for the suspect.
