The reasons for his detention are not yet clear.
The mayor is also the father of Daniel Georgiev, a GERB MP who last year changed loyalties several times in the course of just 24 hours.
Daniel Georgiev's name was also involved in a municipal property scam after an investigation by private national NOVA TV channel.

Earlier the National Audit Office revealed that the mayor had allegedly misused some BGN 1.3 M (EUR 0.65 M) while building a waste treatment plant in hus municipality.
