The President's secretary on legal affairs and anti-corruption Plamen Uzunov has been detained near the South Bulgarian city of Plovdiv on July 9.

Uzunov will be taken to the 9th regional police station in Sofia. According to BNT sources, it is possible that he will be brought to the presidency building, where his office will be searched in his presence.
