He was last seen at a sitting of the Sofia Appellate Court in September 2015. Brendo was apprehended in this country in 2012 and handed over to the Italian authorities to be tried in Milan. However, Italy allowed him to return to Sofia temporarily to attend his Bulgarian trial.

Last year Switzerland also brought charges against him or money laundering – around USD 39 million from drugs via Credit Suisse. Brendo will remain in detention in Ukraine for 20 days after which the Bulgarian prosecutor’s office has the right to request his extradition.
