Velchev also stated that an indictment is ready against the former head of the State Forestry Agency, Stefan Yurukov.
Tsvetanov became the first former Minister in Bulgaria since 1989 to be charged with violations during his term of office after the Prosecutor’s Office changed him over land swap deals in September 2009. Yurukov was also charged together with him.
