The arrest of Ivan Lekov, deputy head of Bulgaria's State Agency for Sport and Youth, at the instance of the State Agency for National Security has deepened the controversy surrounding the country's football industry. In its issue published on September 26, The Sofia Echo leads on the implications of the story and takes an editorial position.

At the same time, sparks are flying over the saga of Bulgargaz and massive unpaid bills, with serious implications for consumers. The newspaper examines the story so far.

In The Sofia Echo's foreign news section, Spasena Baramova outlines the political turmoil in Greece, while in the Insight section, Petar Kostadinov explains the political drama closer to home.

In a full-page property story, Svetlana Guineva reports on the points made at a two-day discussion in Sofia on trends in architecture.

In the features section, Anastasia Vassileva takes a light look at the topic of Bulgarian humour, while The Sofia Echo has its customary venue and restaurant reviews, listings of what's on at the cinema and in entertainment and a double-page spread of social photographs.

On the sports page, Nick Iliev tracks the latest in Formula One.
