The amended and updated bill of indictment against the former executive director of Toplofikatsiya Sofia – the central heating utility of Bulgaria’s capital – was filed with Sofia regional court on October 30, prosecution authorities said, as quoted by Dnevnik daily.

Dimitrov’s lawyer had received the new indictment several days earlier. Formal errors and technical inconsistencies in the previous one prevented a court panel from holding the first hearing on the case in August, Dnevnik said.

The new bill of indictment claimed that for the period between October 20 1999 and June 25 2003, on the territory of Austrian city of Kufstein, Dimitrov had been involved in financial operations that violated the Bulgarian legislation on foreign currency transactions. Credits extended by him and securities’ transactions amounted to $380 830.46 and 2 189 677.23 euro, or a total of 4 868 155.60 leva.

Dimitrov was additionally accused that in the period of November 25 2003 to July 1 2006, in Sofia, he had violated the legislation on foreign currency transactions. As manager of a company named Pro Mark EOOD he had not declared at the Bulgarian National Bank and for the needs of statistics a large number of deals, with a total value of 18 890 178.36 euro.

The amended bill of indictment also included further information on the exact dates and security deals, in which Dimitrov had been involved, Dnevnik said.
