“A large-scale operation is underway in connection with 120 cases of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office in Bulgaria. Searches and confiscations are carried out at many addresses. Boyko Borisov, Vladislav Goranov, Menda Stoyanova and Sevdalina Arnaudova are currently detained,” the ministry said.
