Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry is following developments in connection with the arrest, in the UK, of three Bulgarian nationals for spying for Russia, the Foreign Ministry says.
With regard to the fact that the Bulgarian embassy in London has not been notified of the arrests, Bulgaria’s ambassador to the UK and Northern Ireland Marin Raykov said, for the BNR:
“The practice in the UK is when citizens of another country, who have been taken into custody, want the institutions of their country not to be informed, then usually the British authorities respect their wish. I believe that this is the explanation why we have not been apprised.”
The Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office announced it has been working on the case of the three Bulgarians, jointly with the State Agency for National Security (SANS) since Mach 2023. Legal proceedings for espionage have been initiated.
