Bulgaria’s former Head of the State Reserve and War-Time Stock, Dimitar Dimitrov, was sentenced Wednesday to 5 years behind bars by the Sofia City Court.
In addition, Dimitrov is banned from holding high-ranking State positions in the next 7 years.
The Prosecutor charged Dimitrov with concluding fuel deals in 2005 which deprived the State of BGN 120 M and asked for 9 years of jail time.
The other defendant in the case, Krasimira Borimirova, former Chief Accountant of the State Reserve, was pronounced not guilty.
Dimitrov firmly denies the charges and declared he will appeal the sentence.
3 other former directors of the Reserve – Stanislav Koparov, Vasil Tsokanov and Mircho Petkov, are tried in another case. Petkov already has one verdict from 2008 of 5 years of imprisonment for concluding deals unfavorable for the State.
