Earlier, as part of the same criminal case, five Bulgarian citizens who lived in London and Norfolk were already arrested. Their trial began in September 2023.
According to the investigation, they passed secret information to Russia. Law enforcement authorities believe that the spy network also included an Austrian citizen and other persons whose details are not specified.
Three of the arrested Bulgarians were also charged with using forged documents — fake passports and identity cards from almost a dozen countries.
