Bulgaria's prosecuting authority has announced that judge Rumyana Chenalova, who has been sought nationwide since Tuesday noon, is now in custody.
Chenalova is now facing pre-trial proceedings for professional misconduct and a document-related offence.
She was removed from office on January 22 for a six-month period, and authorities had failed to summon her to a number of hearings at the Sofia Investigation Office.
Prosecutors say they are to demand that Chenalova remain in detention following the 72-hour period.
Outgoing Defense Minister Nikolay Nenchev received a new summons to the Sofia Investigation Office late in December, his institution says.
Rumyana Chenalova, a dismissed judge who has been at the center of several high-profile scandals in Bulgaria and faces several charges, has been indicted again, private bTV station reports, citing prosecutors.

Rumyana Chenalova, a controversial judge charged with malfeasance and document fraud, is to be handed a second indictment on Wednesday, Bulgarian media outlets report.
