A former military intelligence official has been indicted as the leader of the secret group. For years, he has selected people holding key positions with unlimited access to classified information about Bulgaria and NATO and EU partners. For a fee through the leader of the group and his wife, a Russian citizen, they provided the information at the embassy of the foreign country in Sofia. Five of the accused remain in custody.
