Balgarianovinite.com On April 3, the Sofia City Court (SCC) ordered the detention for up to 40 days of a citizen of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), following a request by the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office under the Extradition and the European Arrest Warrant Act. The man has been wanted for extradition at the request of Interpol UAE – Abu Dhabi, based on a Red Notice issued on December 1, 2025, the prosecution said.
By a resolution dated April 1, 2026, a prosecutor from the Supreme Cassation Prosecutor’s Office ordered the foreign national to be detained for up to 72 hours.
A national arrest warrant has been issued against the man by a prosecutor in Dubai, UAE, for the enforcement of a sentence handed down on July 26, 2017, by a UAE court in Dubai for an offence described as breach of trust. The imposed penalty is six months of imprisonment and a fine of AED 20,737,263.37.
The man has been banned from leaving the country.
In addition to the received information about a valid national arrest warrant, the judicial authorities of the UAE have also declared their intention to seek the subsequent extradition of the foreign national, according to the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office.
Based on the presented facts and operational data from the Directorate for International Operational Cooperation at the Ministry of Interior in Sofia, it has been established that the Arab citizen, convicted of an economic crime, has the financial means to evade justice, as he has resided in several countries across different continents.
The ruling of the Sofia City Court is not final and is subject to appeal before the Sofia Appellate Court.
The appellate proceedings before the Sofia Appellate Court are scheduled for April 9.
