The 75 elderly people found locked in facilities in the village of Yagoda near Stara Zagora have been placed in services with appropriate care for their condition and twenty people are already with their families thanks to the joint efforts of the institutions, the press center of the Ministry of Social Affairs announced.
The people were found yesterday in illegal homes for the elderly with their feet tied, under the influence of narcotics, locked in rooms with horrific conditions, without bed linen, and without contact with the outside world, BTA recalls. A team from the Center for Mental Health established on site that 10 people have mental disorders, and 23 have dementia.
“The law will be implemented in all its severity with regard to the illegal homes in the village of Yagoda,” Minister of Justice Georgi Georgiev told Nova TV, quoted by BGNES. According to him, there was a total lack of humaneness and an inexplicable sadistic attitude towards people in a defenseless state. The minister revealed that crying elderly women hugged the police officers who arrived.
So far, six people have been arrested and five of them have already been charged.
