Nikolai Marinov, dubbed by the media "The Little Margin Brother", was officially declared a wanted man by the court on January 13 2010.

Marinov and his older brother, Krassimir, dubbed "The Big Margin", were due to appear in court on charges of conspiring to murder three people, two of whom are already dead.

Both brothers were freed on 20 000 leva bail but because Nikolai Marinov failed to appear in court on January 13 2010 he has broken bail terms and the authorities have now declared him a wanted man.

His lawyers told the court they did not know of his whereabouts.

The older brother, Krassimir Marinov, has been under arrest since January 5 2010 when former radio host Bobbie Tsankov was murdered in Sofia city centre. His younger brother, Nikolai, has been missing ever since.

Police had already said that the brothers had conspired to murder Tsankov. Now with Nikolai Marinov failing to appear in court police have issued a nationwide arrest warrant for his capture.
