A Brooklyn Heights man — arrested last month for having an apartment filled with bombs that were discovered after he accidentally shot himself — was slapped with a 132-count indictment stemming from the explosives and his connection to a swastika graffiti attack in September.
The bomb charges against Ivalyo Ivanov, 37, carry a maximum sentence of 25 years.
Ivanov faces additional hate crime charges for allegedly tattooing two synagogues, buildings and cars in Brooklyn Heights with swastikas, and leafleting cars with messages saying, “Kill all the Jews,” in September.
District Attorney Charles Hynes said he would aggressively prosecute Ivanov, calling his crimes “attacks against the whole of society, not just the individuals or groups targeted.”
Ivanov’s court-appointed attorney, Adrian Lesher, from Legal Aid, criticized the indictment as a public-relations stunt.
