Police anti-organized crime unit Stanimir Florov stated that police will later reveal what are the alleged activities that mandate Brando's arrest.
Bulgarian media report that Banev might have had a red Interpol arrest warrant against him, and that he is investigated for ringleading an organized crime group.
