Then they were fired and forbidden to appear in the service building. The specialized prosecutor's office took up this issue after an internal investigation by DANS. The specialized prosecutor's office has not yet reported any arrests in connection with this suspicion. Previously, Bulgaria declared 10 Russian diplomats persona non grata. Russia promised to respond to the expulsion of diplomats.
