Plovdiv Appelative Court has prolonged the arrest of Serbian Budimir Kujović on January 9.
The court maintained the earlier ruling of arrest for Kujović imposed by the court of first instance in Stara Zagora.
The ruling is definite and not subject to appeals, mediapool.bg said.
Kujović was arrested on December 30 2007 in a police action in Plovdiv, following the capture of 60 kg of heroin at the Bulgarian Kapitan Andreevo border crossing the day before.
Kujović has been accused of leading the organisation of a criminal group, of having helped Nikolai Piskov, Michail Yankov and Stoiko Doichev in an attempt to smuggle close to 60 kg of heroin across the border and to have helped Piskov in the actual transport of the 60 kg heroin.
If found guilty, he could be sentenced to between 20 and 30 years in jail plus a fine of between 200 000 and 300 000 leva.
