One Bulgarian doctor has been arrested for suspected involvement in human organs trafficking, Sofia's Police announced today.
According to the same source, the arrested is Stanislav Hristov, the Head of the Pathology Department at the Aleksandrovska Hospital in Sofia.
He has been charged with multiple violations of the regulations on human organs handling and transplantation for personal gain.
The Public Prosecution Office requested the doctor to be ordered a temporary detention.
When asked by Bgnes Agency to comment the case, the Director of the Sofia's Hospital, Assistant Professor Asen Zlatev, said that he would like to see the results of the official investigation before giving any comments.
This in light of that creepy claim in Carla del Ponte’s book about kidnapped Serbs being used for their organs.
Does this tie in with the story on theonion.com about a hospital in Massachusetts receiving an “anonymous donation” of 200 fresh human kidneys?

Fyi
Just of interest. And Marmema, the dentist, Mastromarino, went to Russia too.
