Reports suggest that Evgeni Tropchev – head of Court Security is to be punished “for his humiliating attitude towards journalists”. Tropchev apparantly turned up to Geshev’s release from Sofia District Court in sportswear whilst “mocking and teasing” the waiting journalists. They were then attacked and beaten by the security guards.

The journalists made contact with the prosecutors office and have issued a complaint.

From the screenshots (1, 2, 3) posted on mininova, it seems the AsiaTeam guys have not only episode 1, but the entire Season 6 Premiere DVD that will be released on January 16th. This DVD contains the the first 4 episodes (screenshot) of 24 season 6, and a preview of episode 5.

And just to spice things up, here’s an exclusive:

Even though my colleague at TorrentFreak tells me it is completely normal in the world of BitTorrent for TV shows to be leaked, I am amazed that something like this could happen.

In July 2005, the pilot episodes of 5 upcoming TV series were leaked onto BitTorrent. Although many believed that it was ABC themselves who had leaked the episodes to get the hype going, it is unlikely that a mainstream content producer would do such a thing. Many upcoming episodes of the TV series Prison Break, among others, have been routinely leaked onto the Internet, and in particular, BitTorrent.

We can’t link to the torrent for obvious reasons, but it’s not hard to find.

update: episode 2, 3 and 4 are out
