The amended bill of indictment against the former director of the Sofia heating utility, Valentin Dimitrov, will be filed within days, prosecutor on the case Bojidar Djambazov announced on October 25, as quoted by Dnevnik business daily.

Formal errors and technical inconsistencies in the bill of indictment prevented a court panel from holding in August the first hearing on the case.
While the Prosecutor's Office said the corrections to the bill were ready, Djambazov would not commit to a date for the next hearing on the case. He added, though, that Dimitrov will also be facing trial on charges such as abuse in office - namely, misappropriation of funds - and money laundering. Charges are yet in the drafting stage.

Djambazov recalled that the first case refers to the four million euros Dimitrov has redirected to an Austrian bank account. If proven guilty, Dimitrov will sit for six years behind bars for failure to declare the money transfer and subsequent transactions with the same funds.
