A Bulgarian truck driver who had been missing for four months has been located - in an Iranian prison, awaiting his execution due to drug trafficking, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.
Zhivko Rusev, aged 55, from the town of Galabavo, had been arrested in September near the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz by the local anti-drug police services. A package of 135 kilograms of heroin was found in his truck.
The Bulgarian authorities have been working on the case since they have been informed, a FA ministry spokesperson said. This was yesterday, though. All along the driver's daughter in Bulgaria had thought that her father had abandoned her and settled with a Russian woman in Armenia, Darik reports.
The case with the death-sentenced Bulgarian driver could be discussed during the visit of Iran's deputy FA minister to Bulgaria between February 2nd and 3rd.
