Unfortunately, this is an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was under surveillance. I can confirm that this is a case of espionage. I will refrain from further comments
It is noted that the officer's actions were monitored for several months. Later, other detainees may appear in the case, Kotsev said.
According to NOVA , the detained law enforcement officer was passing official information to a Russian citizen. This is a former diplomat at the Russian Embassy in Sofia, who was declared persona non grata by Bulgaria.
