On 18 November, Former Energy Minister Delyan Dobrev became the third minister to be indicted over the abandoned Belene NPP project. In October, the Chief Prosecutor demanded that Dobrev be stripped of his immunity to face charges. The outgoing government denies he was involved in financial transfers that the prosecution alleges, were approved by his ministry and made by state-owned National Electricity Company (NEK) to Russia's Atomstroyexport (ASE). Dobrev served as Bulgaria's Economy, Energy and Tourism Minister from March 2012 to March 2013.
