No weight was published for the marijuana and methamphetamine found in the woman's flat, so the cannabis total covers only the man's seizure.
The 32 sachets from the man's flat were described as herbal material and were identified as marijuana only by the expert report.
The roughly 700 euro found in the flat was not described as proceeds of drug sales.
Whether the Sofia City Court later ordered permanent detention on either suspect has not been reported.
Both accounts rest on the same Sofia police statement, with the news report reproducing the Interior Ministry release.
