Expectations were great in Bulgaria when Dilma Rousseff was elected president of Brasil more than 9 months ago.
Officials hoped Dilma would send some investment money to Sofia.
“What Kind of Check Will Dilma Bring?” headlined Sofia's newspaper.

But not all is coming-up roses.
Some relatives there claim he left behind unpaid debts from a bankrupt textile company...and a pregnant wife he never saw again.
