One of the notorious Bulgarian Yuzeirovi brothers – Yuzeir has been detained in Belgium on charges of human trafficking, according to the Antwerp police.

This Yuzeir Yuzeirov's second arrest in Belgium. He was arrested in July, 2010 to serve a sentence after being convicted on two counts there. His brother Ali, at the time, denied the information before Bulgarian media until the Belgium police confirmed it.

Yuzeir Yuzeirov, an ethnic Bulgarian Turk, is also known by his Bulgarian name of Rosen Yordanov.

Last December, Ali Yuzeirov, announced he was going to run for president in 2011.

In the beginning of April, 2010, Yuzeirovi's attempt to found the Muslim party OTOMAN in the city of Shumen failed because the brothers were unable to gather the needed 500 supporters. Ali Yuzeirov complained at the time that many buses and followers on foot were on their way but could not arrive to the meeting because they were stopped by the police.

The abbreviation OTOMAN stands for "Union for Tolerance, Responsibility, Moral, and Alternative Progress." Yet the party's name bears uncanny connotation to the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria's bitter past under Turkish dominion.

Yuzeirovi insist that OTOMAN's main goal is to promote religious and ethnic tolerance. Their similar initiatives in the summer and fall of 2009 have been slammed by many commentators as attempts to stir ethnic and religious tension.

In the fall of 2009, the two brothers erected a monument of the Unknown Turkish/Muslim Soldier near Targovishte, which was torn down by the authorities after court action.
