Bulgarian Deputy Candidate Arrested for Vote-Buying Allegations

Bulgarian authorities have detained Ceyhan Ibryamov, a deputy candidate from the "Alliance for Rights and Freedoms" coalition (DPS-Dogan faction), according to his lawyer, who spoke to BTA. Ceyhan Ibryamov's lawyer confirmed that the deputy was apprehended last night and taken to the investigative detention center on charges of vote-buying.

Earlier on Wednesday evening, his fellow party member Ilhan Kyuchuk wrote on Facebook: "We have had no contact with Ceyhan Ibryamo for the last 3 hours. What is happening? Has he been kidnapped?"
