Sofia City Court has ruled that Russian-French businessman Nikolai Kobliakov is to be placed under house arrest.

The ruling comes after Bulgarian authorities received a request for Kobliakov's extradition sent by Moscow.

Kobliakov was detained at Sofia Airport just before entering Bulgarian territory on July 31.

Nikolay Koblyakov, described as an opposition-affiliated Russian businessman, has been arrested at Sofia Airport, authorities say.

Private national channel NOVA TV reports the operation targeting Koblyakov was carried out on Tuesday evening.

Moscow had issued in 2013 a red notice for Koblyakov over an alleged criminal offense.
