Centerra Gold

A Bulgarian court on Wednesday granted bail to the former CEO of Toronto-based Centerra Gold Leonard Homeniuk, who has been under house arrest in Bulgaria for about two months.  

The move came two days after the Vidin Regional Court postponed to October 7 a hearing on a request for Homeniuk's extradition to Kyrgyzstan submitted by the Kyrgyz authorities.

Novinite.com has approached Marina Stephens, wife of Leonard Homeniuk, for an interview focused on his legal battle against a potential extradition to Kyrgyzstan.

Len Homeniuk, a former CEO of Toronto-based Centerra Gold mining company, is facing an extradition hearing in Bulgaria on Thursday, the Globe and Mail has reported.

Toronto-based mining company Centerra Gold has said it has been made aware that its former President and CEO Leonard Homeniuk has been detained by the Bulgarian authorities, "apparently at the request of Kyrgyz Republic authorities".
