Bulgaria's Prosecutor's Office indicted the former head of Sofia heating utility Valentin Dimitrov on charges of tax and currency crimes just days after he was released from jail.

The two bills of indictment against Dimitrov will be ready in a few days, senior prosecutor Boris Velchev said Wednesday.

The other accusation, for money laundering, has been delayed as the investigation is still underway.

Valentin Dimitrov was released on BGN 20 000 bail on June 1 after spending one year behind bars on charges of mass money laundering and embezzlement.

He was arrested after the Toplofikatsiya heating utility that he headed was found in tatters and had to file for bankruptcy.
