Prosecutors File Indictment against Varna Mayor Blagomir Kotsev
Earlier this week, Kotsev was transferred from Sofia to Varna Prison after the Supreme Court of Cassation ruled that the trial against him and four other co-accused should be heard in Varna rather than by the Sofia City Court.
Kotsev faces charges of participation in a criminal conspiracy, soliciting bribes, and coercion for financial gain.
