A Bulgarian court delivered a ten-month suspended sentence on a Bulgarian Roma musician, who has already been jailed for pimping.

Kondyo, a former ethno-music celebrity on the local scene, was found guilty on pimping charges and sentenced to ten years in April.

Monday was him back in courtroom, facing women trafficking charges. This was the second time that the court convened after the trial was adjourned in May as witnesses failed to turn up in court.

Legal proceedings against the 42-year-old star began after two teenage women filed complaints against him.
