A Montenegrin and three Armenians have been arrested by Bulgarian police authorities for the planned murder of a Bulgarian businessman in the capital Sofia, according to Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tstvetanov.
It was the Montenegro citizen who ordered the murder, Bulgarian police believe. In 2004 he was arrested in Bulgaria for the possession of 54 kilograms (118.8 lbs) of cannabis, while in 2005 he was detained with 4 kilograms of heroin.
The Montenegrin was banned from entering Bulgaria in 2006.
The Bulgarian businessman that was about to be killed has a criminal record, according to local police authoties.
It is believed that a total of BGN 30 000 (approximately EUR 15 300) was paid for the assassination plot that was allegedly foiled by the police.
